Join journalist Barry Werth as he pulls back the curtain on Vertex, a start-up pharmaceutical company, and witness firsthand the intense drama being played out in the pioneering and hugely profitable field of drug research. Founded by Joshua Boger, a dynamic Harvard- and Merck-trained scientific whiz kid, Vertex is dedicated to designing -- atom by atom -- both a new life-saving immunosuppressant drug, and a drug to combat the virus that causes AIDS.
You will be hooked from start to finish, as you go from the labs, where obsessive, fiercely competitive scientists struggle for a breakthrough, to Wall Street, where the wheeling and dealing takes on a life of its own, as Boger courts investors and finally decides to take Vertex public. Here is a fascinating no-holds-barred account of the business of science, which includes an updated epilogue about the most recent developments in the quest for a drug to cure AIDS.

Did not fit e90 2006 330i, n52 engine
For what it's worth, the quality of the hose seemed good, so that's why I gave 3 stars, but: It did not fit my e90 2006 330i, n52 engine. Took the car to the shop to replace broken OEM hose. I provided the hose. It did not fit, so I ended up paying the shop for a hose, and probably extra time because it sat on the lift waiting for the one they ordered.

Didn’t fit but I made it fit.
The part appears decently made in China. The end that terminates below the oil filter would not mount (too tight). I gently sanded the o-ring groove, lubricated and I put the part in freezer. After two hours of sanding the groove I got the part seated. Good thing I was patient today. Pain in the butt.
