The lack of activity on this blog only means that I am spending all my time writing on my Scientific American blog, so I am just going to link to the posts there. One thing I am doing there is to write a user-friendly series on why drug discovery is so hard. Until now I have tackled target identification, hit identification and lead optimization and permeability. More to follow soon.
