Fooled by euphoria



How often have we heard about new revolutionary technologies! That it just a couple of investigations and tests left to accomplish and we will be able to cure everything! And it is very close to us – the miracle drug is just synthesizing – it takes just to make a formal study! Have you read this news? Too optimistic? Sure, the reality is much sobering. And all this euphoria regarding nano- and biotechnology? Proteomics, genomics, HTSs etc? Are they not too optimistic? Sure, and this is the best way to raise funding! Who cares that it's just another beautifully-sounded (BS) story? Well... Do investors have better alternatives to invest their money? How could they know what is bogus and what is really creative project? This is a hard question. Do you have an answer?
