7. Time stalls for no one…
“ …from our analysis of CVD guidelines and from
previous studies, we assume a mean lag between
research and impact for CVD treatments of between
10 and 25 years, with a central estimate of 17 years”

Marty – Wait a minute Doc, are you telling me that you built a time
machine out of a DeLorean?
Doc – The way I see it, if you’re gonna build a time machine into a car,
why not do it with some style?

19. “Thinking is more interesting than
knowing, but less interesting than
looking”
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
“A compass, I learned when I was surveying, ...it'll
point you True North from where you're standing,
but it's got no advice about the swamps and
deserts and chasms that you'll encounter along the
way. If in pursuit of your destination, you plunge
ahead, heedless of obstacles, and achieve nothing
more than to sink in a swamp... What's the use of
knowing True North?”
- Abraham Lincoln
