Hi all,

There is a glancing reference to the open source pharma movement in the most recent issue of The Economist magazine.  Huge legitimation to be mentioned in the Economist, even briefly.

http://www.economist.com/news/business/21679203-high-cost-rd-used-explain-why-drugs-giants-merge-and-why-they-must-charge

I might have preferred that they picked up a strand other than the prize aspect, which is very small, but even this brief mention is big.   Something to be thankful for.

The reporter has asked us to share the article on social media, so please feel free to tweet, retweet, etc.

Warm regards to all,

Jaykumar
