“Bristol-Myers Squibb’s big reorganization fits into the industry’s new model for R&D. Large, scattered groups are out as big
organizations gravitate toward the big hubs. GlaxoSmithKline ($GSK) and Amgen ($AMGN) have offered two recent examples of that trend, which has benefited hubs like Boston/Cambridge and the Bay Area while inflicting painful cuts in outlying areas. Biopharma companies are also concentrating on core areas, sometime shedding early-stage work–reflected in Merck’s ($MRK) recent downsizing at the newly acquired Cubist and the big asset swap that occurred between GlaxoSmithKline and Novartis ($NVS).”

Days of Our Digital Lives by @seththoughts http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/05/opinion/sunday/seth-stephens-davidowitz-days-of-our-digital-lives.html #Search data shows misspellings & forgotten passwords more common at night

QT:{{"
“There is some evidence that we get less sharp as the day progresses. Between 2 and 3 a.m., search rates for “forgot password” are 60 percent higher than average. They are lowest around 9 a.m. Between 2 and 3 a.m., we are more than twice as likely to misspell “facebook” as “facbook” and nearly twice as likely to misspell “weather” as “wether.””
