Larry Thompson: Hi. We have a roomful of about a dozen folks right now, reading and trying to answer all of your questions. And the age range is from the early 20s to the mid-50s. We have the institute's scientific director, one of the branch chiefs -- both are MDs doing research, among other staff. The range of people who work at the institute range from high school students on internships to very senior, tenure-track scientists with decades of experience. |
