An entry in the ‘100 Steps for Pharma‘ series It’s easier to sharpen a pencil than it is to write a poem with it. It’s easier to clean a musical instrument than it is to play a sonata on it. …

No pharma company should look at its portfolio of social presences and think ‘job done’.

What job do they do?
