More PRW- Dew, did you know David Platt started that biotech in his garage, and he has been in a bit more trouble than you have reported.

It cant be easy starting a biotech out of your garage.

With Safe Science(became GLGS)he had to fight for the patent and lost. He licensed it from the UNI.
Then he then left GLGS and founded Pro-Pharmaceuticals and had to fight GLGS for the technology, claiming it was Russian, and won. GLGS is no more.
All this over the sugar found in orange peel.
He has to get the award for tenacity.
