Improbable Developments Salem Oaks Every medicine in your pharmacy has a human story behind it. Real people doing real work and living real lives. We all have romantic ideas about scientists working late into the evening or doctors dropping everything to answer a phone call about a patient. You can almost envision the moment when one of those researchers finally solves an intellectual puzzle and leaps into action. Their eyes go from an empty stare to an alert laser-like focus. They sit a bit taller and start to read frantically. I am sure you’ve seen those movies too.But is it real? Is that how it really happens?That’s what we intend to explore in “Improbable Developments.” Each month we will talk to someone who was or is in the trenches of biopharma R&D and let them tell their story.
