It was a little frustrating....

Back when I was the only one complaining about corporate communications I found it somewhat vexing that nobody else was concerned about the lack of professionalism in the company's communications, both with existing shareholders and prospective investors.
It is nice to see others expressing those same concerns now.
On the science side things do seem to be progressing wonderfully well....the only fly in the ointment seems to be the lack of capital to move things along at a faster pace.
Don has been successful at raising money, but I think the question begs....if the science indeed is so stellar....Does he really deserve much credit?
How much credit does the coach of the US Olympic basketball team deserve for winning gold when he's putting an NBA all star team on the floor?
No facebook presense, a twitter account that seems to be an after thought, repeatedly over promising and under delivering. Don's background isn't science I don't believe....so I don't think he can take any credit for the scientific achievement's, any more than Tyrone Lui (Cleveland's head basketball coach) can take credit for Lebron James scoring a triple double.
In fairness it may be that DM is the best we can do.....the Elon Musk, RJ Kirks etc of the world, they don't come cheap and I doubt they're interested in the top job at a small clinical stage company in any case.
