The interesting part of that quote was the words "business development". Gerald could have left it out, but it may indicate there is more to the conversations with many Pharmas then "How many of these Lympro thingies should we put you down for? If you buy 99, we throw in one free."

Gerald did sound a little worn out today but without a video, hard to tell. Could be he's working around the clock.


"Business development comprises a number of tasks and processes generally aiming at developing and implementing growth opportunities within and between organizations. It is a subset of the fields of business, commerce and organizational theory. Business development is the creation of long-term value for an organization from customers, markets, and relationships."
