Could be a fun thread. I'll start:
Pharma factoids:
Percent of candidate compounds/medications that fail to make it to market: 98%
Average cost of each failed compound: $100 million
The animal neck snapper we have at work breaks the animals neck using a 2 tons of pressure. It's like a big hole puncher for animals. If you like rabbits, dogs, or monkeys, don't get a job at R&D in a pharma company.
Pharma companies are legally allowed to purchase cocaine. It comes from government growers, and is kept in locked, guarded compounds. And we're not talking "Some office building with a dead-bolted room". It's a reinforced concrete structure, with a single entrance, with 2 front room guards armed with hand guns, then beyond a bullet proof glass door 2 more fully armed guards with bulletproof armor and full on assault weapons. Any pain medication you see that ends in "-aine" (Sensorcaine, Xylocaine, etc) are all derived from cocaine.
