In a piece on LinkedIn, Brian Krueger made a pithy comment that should give PacBio management pause. In a series of bulletpoints he summarized key things he had heard from ASHG, and the one for PacBio starts with "And PacBio threw a party". Parties with name musical acts has been modus operandi for PacBio Sales & Marketing for a number of years now, but I hope they seriously think about whether this is a good use of marketing dollars. But fear not dear leader: if they do listen to Brian & I it's probably much too late to derail any plans for AGBT.
