    UWO is looking over our collective heads to greener pastures in the US and overseas. So much easier to sign a royalty agreement with a multi-national than to do the hard slogging involved with a startup here in London. Even tougher to pry a tenured researcher out of academia to be a partner in a local start-up company, although our American friends seem to be encouraged to do so at their institutions. Apparently it's not the smell of money that is offensive to UWO but the idea of the hands-on work or perhaps being seen publicly doing the hand's-on work to generate the money, is? This must change.
