Congratulations to Bryce Paschal for being the first BMG faculty member who competed and won in a Manning Institute sponsored Spark Tank competition. Bryce proposed to develop a dual PARP inhibitor. I hope that some of you were able to participate in yesterday’s spectacle. And, yes, miraculously, 283-year-old Thomas Jefferson presented the check.
