What's in the News

'In the South Seas there is a cargo cult of people. During the war they saw airplanes with lots of good materials, and they want the same thing to happen now. So they've arranged to make things like runways, to put fires along the sides of the runways..."


We here at the CCS look at each biotech hub as a cargo cult airport. Seatte, the bay area, San Diego, Boston, North Carolina are all airports. The fires along the runways are small biotech companies.

The seattle cargo cults had a bad week.
