Promi­nent MIT sci­en­tist Su­san Lindquist dies of can­cer; Elec­tion fears dam­ag­ing biotech stocks?; Promethera adds 10M eu­ros in VC cash

Su­san Lee Lindquist, a promi­nent sci­en­tist at MIT and for­mer Di­rec­tor of the White­head In­sti­tute, has died of can­cer. “She was a risk-tak­er and an in­no­va­tor,” said MIT’s David Page. “She be­lieved that if we were not reach­ing for things be­yond our grasp, we were not do­ing our job as re­searchers; if we were not con­stant­ly striv­ing for that which we could on­ly imag­ine, we were not ful­fill­ing our oblig­a­tions to so­ci­ety as sci­en­tists.”
