Milo Aukerman of the Descendents has a PhD in molecular biology - there's a great interview (maybe in the Filmage documentary?!) where he's discussing a conversation with his colleagues who are asking "what did you do at the weekend?" and he replies "Oh, my band was playing Woodstock..." (or something along those lines!)

That's Dr. Holland to you.

Ain't a lot of money in molecular biology these days anyway.

Well, if Dr.Holland would have invented a cure for Covid or a vaccine, there would have been some money I guess.

I'm sure the company would've paid him a small bonus, and kept the 99.9999% of the profits from it for themselves.

I know it kills you, but guess what: There is no "Danny's idea." Everything that comes in here belongs to the agency.

I give you money, you give me ideas.

That isn't what happened to the people who actually did invent them at BioNTech/Moderna.

Greg of Bad Religion I believe also has some sort of PhD.

Interesting, did not know that. Punks seem to like biology it seems ..
