Yeah, It's Cold Enough For Us
While we shiver our way through the week, we're getting ready for JP Morgan and Biotech Showcase next week in San Francisco. 
 
The bulk of our meetings will be at the Wyndham, but we'll also be making the rounds at various receptions and hotel lobbies. 
 
We're focused on a few projects next week in San Francisco, which we describe below. 
 
We also take a slightly contrarian view on the gloomy headlines we've seen this past week.
