美國2018的暢銷書、華爾街日報調查記者約翰凱瑞如(John Carreyrou )的《壞血 - 矽穀創業版公司的秘密和謊言》(“Bad Blood: Secrets and Lies in a Silicon Valley Start-ups”)講的就是伊麗莎白福爾摩斯的直線上升和砰然隕落的離奇故事。
回複 悄悄話 I had the same idea that she used to create her business at about the same time(2004?). It was inspired by a DARPA project (nothing secret). Her mother has connections to the defense department and may learned that project. But there were too many uncertainties so I did not do anything (let alone there could be conflict of interest). It was possible to work out something not as big as she proposed. Today there are startups working on the same idea(quick test of biomarkers). The technology for biomarker detection is much better today than 20 years ago.
