[Ipg-smz] Microsoft and Novartis team up to create new drugs

[Richi Jennings]

I just watched the first episode of the Netflix *Inside Bill's Brain*
thing. Recommended—great storytelling, and all that.

More to the point, the thread running through the episode was
his-and-Melinda's Foundation's quest to get sanitation into slums.
Eye-opening stuff.
