I research how pharma and medtech markets evolve and how firms successfully adapt, then write, teach and advise how to apply that new insight in the real world.

Monday's (17.00UK) webinar of the Darwin Club for Social Science, chaired by @g_m_hodgson features @RandyNesse's evolutionary perspective on mental health. Having read his work, I know it will be a great session. If you would like an invitation, please DM your email address.
Much of the theory in economics and management assumes we're all self interested and care little for others. Here, @g_m_hodgson carefully and thoughtfully helps us think through why we need to look at human nature differently. youtu.be/f4WHNS5CVes

A little cottage in Lake District, early Sunday morning quiet, a cup of tea, a fabulous book with a great quote…. I’m in my happy place. “Research is formalised curiosity. It is poking and prying with a purpose”.
Thank you @gilliantett lnkd.in/eg2aE9PJ
Interesting paper from an even more interesting woman. lnkd.in/ewgr_RnA
