Pillbox, NIH's Physician’s Desk Reference on Steroids


I spent the first part of this week in Toronto, Canada (light years away from the staid, dull town I remember visiting as a kid----with rush hours that easily rival New York’s.  I almost missed my flight home!) to attend USP’s annual science meeting.

A key theme was protecting the pharmaceutical supply chain.  A number of scientists discussed the analytical tools that are being developed to help law enforcement specialists identify fakes.  Quite a few of these presentations focused on handheld Raman, but more on that, and the conference, later.
