тАЬHe was there on a temporary contract, working with Simpson. HeтАЩs a post-doc from Caltech.тАЭ

тАЬAh yeah, here we go. Mathematician, got a paper inBiomathematics on algorithms.тАЭ

тАЬYeah that comes up first on my Google too.тАЭ

тАЬWell sure. I canтАЩt be expected to know everyone who ever worked with us here, thatтАЩs hundreds of
people, you know that.тАЭ

тАЬSure sure.тАЭ

тАЬSo whatтАЩs his proposal about? Are you going to give him a grant?тАЭ

тАЬNot up to me, you know that. WeтАЩll see what the panel says. But meanwhile, maybe you should check
it out.тАЭ

тАЬOh you like it then.тАЭ

тАЬI think it may be interesting, itтАЩs hard to tell at this stage. Just donтАЩt drop him.тАЭ

тАЬWell, our records show him as already gone back up to Pasadena, to finish his work up there I
presume. Like you said, his gig here was temporary.тАЭ

тАЬAh ha. Man, your research groups have been gutted.тАЭ

тАЬNot gutted, Frank, weтАЩre down to the bare bones in some areas, but weтАЩve kept what we need to.

reasons IтАЩll be happy when youтАЩre back out here.тАЭ
тАЬI donтАЩt work for Torrey Pines anymore.тАЭ

тАЬNo I know, but maybe you could rejoin us when you move back here.тАЭ

тАЬMaybe. If you get new financing.тАЭ

тАЬIтАЩm trying, believe me. ThatтАЩs why IтАЩd like to have you back on board.тАЭ

тАЬWeтАЩll see. LetтАЩs talk about it when IтАЩm out there. Meanwhile, donтАЩt cut any more of your other
research efforts. They might be what draws the new financing.тАЭ

тАЬI hope so. IтАЩm doing what I can, believe me. WeтАЩre trying to hold on til something comes through.тАЭ

тАЬYeah. Hang in there then. IтАЩll be out looking for a place to live in a couple of weeks, IтАЩll come see you
then.тАЭ

тАЬGood, make an appointment with Susan.тАЭ

Frank clicked off his phone, sat back in his chair thinking it over. Derek was like a lot of first-generation
CEOs of biotech start-ups. He had come out of the biology department at UCSD, and his business
