We've seen some leads start to trickle in. I think we need to give it a little more time, it was only out last week. Fingers crossed.

Believe it or not, it took about 9 months to get just that small coverage in Forbes. They started with us thinking it would be a small profile, and when they spoke to us they decided to make us a part of a larger cover story.

They spent a lot of time with our genetics folks, but not much made it in. I think there are 2 reasons why. One, I think despite anyone's best efforts its a tough concept to sell to the editor. Case in point, it was tough even for me to properly explain in State College. Two, Forbes is more of a general trend pub, so to get too much into the "cool technology" they would tend to speak of it in simpler terms in the context of the larger story.
