My first reaction on seeing those lighthouse photos was "holy SHIT!" And I almost never curse out loud anymore.
Thanks for the info on funding, meara.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

But the one problem is: the Pharm companies will fund multiple studies with the agreement that the data and the studies can only be released with their permission. So if two studies find no problem and 4 find a problem only the two get released. There are other problems too.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Most non-industry drug studies are...incredibly smaller.
Yeah, and then the results aren't generalizable to the larger population.
Or could we just do some studies to see if our already-approved depression drug also works for bipolar?
Or my favorite, "Hey, this guy was taking a drug for angina and he STARTED TO GROW HAIR! Perhaps we can market the bejesus out of this!"

Hahaha! And that's totally part of why my job exists too. I'm supposed to review the medical records of people on a study, and confirm that they're reporting all side effects. So, be that "I get headaches on this drug" or "I grew more hair!" or whatever...good and bad. :)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
In fun news, the Good Stuff tumblr has (at least) 1,061 followers now!
I mean, 1392. I should see if I can find out where they are coming from.

I feel like I should UNfollow you, just because (as noted) 42 is such a better number!
(But I won't.)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I should probably do more to get my art tumblr out there, or at least figure out how to tag things to drive traffic to it.
