Mac Farlane is a scientist, he’s going to CTAD no matter what. If it’s bad to good results he’ll be presenting his work, if it’s exceptional, Chris might want to “jump in” on behalf of Anavex although I doubt it.
Scientist present their work in order to advance the science although it’s more enjoyable to present good results, there’s knowledge to be gained from bad ones as well.
Either way we can’t tell from his response, and I’m ok with that.
