They do seem to like their orange stuff...
We went to visit Novartis in Basel and they just launched a new product in New Zealand. It's orange. It was everywhere. Well, at least pictures and demonstrations and the like. Zolvox (an AAD class drug) to fight sheep parasite. It was the first new class of action drug in about 5 years so Novartis went all out and made it their color (orange), created new, more egernomaically-designed dredging packaging for it, and even had cute little sheep plush toys to demonstrate. First, we went to the "sciency" building and we were shown how they create the pills, test solutions, and test shelf-life. It was neat to go into the rooms where they simulate all the temperature conditions and humidities the products must endure and cool to see how all the technical-looking machines worked. Then we went to the St.Auben facility and checked out all the flies and bugs they raise, looked at dog kennels, and sheep and all kinds of fun things. The researchers were really informative and told us all about how everything worked. it was great. An added bonus was the hotel rooms care of Novartis. It was great to have your own room for two days. Basel is a really great city and we went on a short tour the next day.
Now I'm in the airport waiting to fly back to germany! Here we come Berline!
