The Science MAY be good enough not to require a Magic Chaperone let alone a competent one. But, it sure would help unless you wish to champion ineffective hires or pacing blame on contractors.
I acknowledge the "pace" of bio research is not linear. I accept that Institutional bureaucracy is frustrating even without the politics. I KNOW different Countries insist on different "controls".
All those stipulations aside....may we have just a bit more coordination of each?
