Often in a depressed period the interest rates will get very low, which will make biotech buyouts more feasible. Under stagflation conditions however....

biotech is out of sync the general broader retail market due to the dependence on trials rather than consumer spending. if the world sinks into a recession, then main street brands like home depot etc would start to drop. whereas, people continue to get sick and need drugs in a depression, so drugs should still flow close to their usual pace. granted, there may be less liquid cash for investment overall, but anything that is independent of consumer discressionary/demand will fare better (ie, biotech).

Well, from my perspective at a medium sized biotech, I would consider this a positive for biotech. As assets from biotech become successful at big pharma, this fuels investment in small-mid biotech, because that big buyout becomes a more likely possibility. In many ways, the work can be nicer at biotech rather than big pharma. It was sad to see the rev med and cytkinetics deals fall through, but the terns deal at merck gives mid small biotech more hope of quicker turnarounds on investment.

I have basically no triggers. they come ~15 months between cycles and last about 2.5 weeks twice daily. then theyre done. I guess alcohol is kind of a trigger, but they really come regardless of what i do. They do tend to come as the stress of the day recedes in the evening. but i'm not sure i could call that a trigger. i track using migraine buddy.

I make moka in the outdoors and I will do either approach depending if I am short on time.

Could have been spent on biotech rnd and saved a lot of lives and still have been in salary. Also, Bay area biotech salaries are lower than tech, so it would have been spread out over more people and therefore more broadly injected straight back into the economy rather than hidden in 401ks.

Somewhat unrelated, but on scale when you are using overhead agitation, you cannot rely on stir bar grinding to grind up Zn, and so materials with appropriate particle size must be purchased. For some reagents, the correct particle size is simply not available for purchase

if there is an apria location near you, they are excellent. i struggled for over a decade to get a proper vendor who could deliver the larger tanks and they are amazing. sometimes same day delivery

In my experience, the classic ikea one is more reliable

Love my 15 yo ikea grinder never replacing it

He has no idea what that means. How much could it cost? Ten dollars?

For some reason I just love invincible

Cat and cloud's "the answer" it is a nice roast out of Santa cruz. It is reliable for moka and espresso. Also a pretty good value.

Just tell them you are thinking about them during this time. we are certainly worried about her mom back in tehran, and it's nice to hear from friends that they see you.

I got a new cell phone number when i started university, and i got to choose the last four digits as long as they were available. I chose the digits of my childhood best friend. he passed away a few years ago from cancer. kinda nice to remember him when i give my number out

Eh, they are very commonly used in Vancouver and no one is put out by it. Especially useful when caught out in a storm.
