Face it, you're an agent! Scientists should really consider themselves professional promoters-promoters not too different from the type portrayed in a not-to-be-mentioned recent movie (it made enough money). Our clients are not jocks looking for some franchise to pick up a multi-year contract; our clients are genes that have biologically-athletic capabilities. Consider that genes are not just average run-of-the-mill sequences playing weekend pick-up games whenever they get enough friends togeth
