It looks like that’s indeed the case, and they’ve been around long enough that Handmaid’s probably wasn’t that well-known at the time. Still, the irony is off the charts… have they considered changing their logo to the traditional four-armed rotationally-symmetric sacred Buddhist symbol? >.>
the company has been around for a long time, before the book was made famous, one of the first things i saw when applying to lab/biotech was gilead position for scientists. this was already 10 years ago.
they even have transportaiton buses from our city to thier campuses, because its quite far away from a city if you work in biotech.
