I have a lot of hats.

just think about what they wanted to happen, and a little cursor on the screen of a tablet would sort of move around and let them type on the screen, send emails, text messages, play games.

I distinctly remember a conversation with a director of a very prominent medical device company.

Oh, wow.

That's that's really cool, Paul.

Right.

Congratulations.

This is this looks like it's, you know, clinically useful.

And I jumped for joy.

It's like a little victory point, right?

Like, hurrah.

All right.

Without missing a beat, they just laughed in my face.

Politely.

But we're never going to touch this.

That was pretty deflating, right?

Because I felt like I had been working in a space with the aim of trying to help people.

You know, if I wanted to help these individuals, if I wanted to see my work make it past the finish line, I would have to go after bigger problems in brain disease.

You will hear the crowd roaring, the crowd falling silent, right?

The crowd just sort of, you know, being bored and not very excited.
