Five years ago — before the pandemic — Pfizer’s head of research and development, Mikael Dolsten, told STAT he kept a chess set in his office that he got as a gift from a former CEO of the company. It was a memento delivered to Dolsten after he cautioned his boss that research and development was a long process, like a chess match, not something that would happen quickly.
