Pharmalot... Pharmalittle... Good Morning

Top of the morning to you. And yet another shiny day is unfolding over the Pharmalot corporate campus, where the short peopleand the official mascots appear to be snoozing indefinitely. This rare treat gives us more time this morning to brew those mandatory cups of stimulation and poke around for interesting items. So here they are. Meanwhile, we will get back to conducting our own version of R&D. So keep us in mind if you hear something interesting. Have a great day...
