being acquired or becoming a premium-valued independent — the next Genentech or Gilead — in five years. The job is still about building real strategic value so that everybody wins. So, while M&A is always a viable option for value creation, I hope cooler heads will prevail in this crisis and we won’t engage exclusively in a level of pessimism that leads to widespread, premature transactions. Ernst & Young: What advice would you give small-cap biotech companies in the current environment? Lange:

long. But your range of knowledge, I daresay your intellect, rules out such things.” “Why do I get the idea that you’re leading up to something? Something else.” “Because we’ve worked together, closely and under pressure, for several weeks now. You spot a pattern.” “I’m right then?” “Yes. I had to see how you’d accept what I’ve just told you. The previous surgery, the hair, the contact lenses.” “Did I pass?” “With infuriating equilibrium. It’s time now; there’s no point in putting it off any longer

as possible to our limbs to aid action, our digestion is interrupted, making our saliva dry up, and our kidney, intestine and bladder functions stop, causing the muscles at the opening of the anus and bladder to start to relax. We sweat, to try to cool ourselves. Our bodies are flooded with 'stress' hormones that enable all these responses to happen and, as a result, we immediately flee the wild boar or fight the unwelcome tribesmen. Once the threat is over, if we are still alive to tell the tale

While he was attending the university, he often used to stop, mostly on his way home, at precisely this spot (he had done it perhaps a hundred times), and gaze intently at the indeed splendid panorama, and to be surprised almost every time by a certain unclear and unresolved impression. An inexplicable chill always breathed on him from this splendid panorama;

for higher temperatures, the sunlight must be concentrated and oil must be used as a heat medium. water as absorption medium, temperatures below -30 oC can be achieved. A heat source that holds over 70 oC is then needed. Many types of absorption coolers are commercially available, and suitable solar collectors are also on the market. However, it can be difficult to find suppliers that offer complete systems. The same types of solar collectors that can be used for process heat are suitable. Solar

fermionic condensate, Bose-Einstein condensate, and strange matter. Without going into impenetrable (and, for most purposes, needless) detail, one of the most curious is Bose-Einstein condensate. A Bose-Einstein condensate, or bec, occurs when you cool an element down to a very low temperature (generally a tiny fraction of a degree above absolute zero, –273°C, the theoretical temperature at which everything stops moving). When this happens, seriously peculiar things begin to happen. Behavior normally
