  • GSK's Witty wants more funds for FDA – Why not step up to the plate with some grants and join the General Education process

    This actually a pretty good start and I have had my own campaign of sorts going on with getting the FDA up to speed, and they are definitely having to play catch up, as are some other government agencies.  In prior posts I had written that some clinical studies were still being written in long hand...

  • Vassar College Using Tablet PCs for Research and Development

    Anyone involved and R and D today can certainly take advantage of a Tablet PC.  (I think those new fields reps for the FDA might even like this idea and concept too). Why walk around with an “ open pizza box” notebook, watch the video and see the difference and how tablets work while working, and...

  • FDA Index on Drug Alerts

    I spent a little time looking around today and there are many "red stars" on this page, which indicate a safety alert from the FDA.  Safety alerts come in all shapes and sizes and a red start does not mean to stop taking medications by any means, just an awareness to help both the clinicians...

  • The unhealthy ties that bind FDA to drug firms

    A new book out discussing the drug business in the US, Money Talks.  Side Effects which was also written by Bass looks at the day to day life of a pharmaceutical sales representative.  Public Health or profit seems to be the theme and what the investigations uncover.  Big Pharma is much...

  • FDA Channel Page on YouTube – Somewhat Unnoticed Valuable Healthcare Resource

      They now have 70 subscribers, one of the new subscribers was me this morning.   At least they are getting there even though they have had an account since September 6th of last year.  This is amazing that the the Channel exists out there, and yet very few are tuned in.  I have done...
