- Carmen Drahl's cover story on issues in forensic science, including our old friend Annie Dookhan
- These polymers can heal up to 9 mm holes -- bigger caliber next time, folks. (by Celia Henry Arnaud)
- I thought this story by Lisa Jarvis on Pfizer's palbociclib was really interesting -- it's worth reading the mini-column on how it originated with Parke-Davis, but got lost in the merger shuffle. That would never happen again, I'm sure.
- This story by Marc Reisch has sort of a misleading headline, I feel.

Here in Delaware, we have our own crime lab debacle in the State Medical Examiner's Office (http://www.delawareonline.com/story/news/local/2014/02/28/delaware-medical-examiner-suspended-in-drug-probe-/5905371/) with missing/tampered drug evidence and an absentee ME to boot.
ReplyDeleteI think it is important for employers to more properly convey the gravity of forensic analyses to the chemists they employ. The testing of a single sample could be the difference between freedom and decades in prison for a real, living, breathing human being. It's absolutely appalling that forensic lab accreditation is voluntary in most states.
