A former Wyeth scientist was alleged to have engaged in research misconduct in grant applications that were submitted to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. Boris Cheskis, a PhD and former senior scientist in discovery research at Wyeth’s Women’s Health unit and researched estrogen receptors, which has been an important field of study for the drugmaker. The federal notice states that his team identified an adapter protein, MNAR, that coordinates interactions between certain nuclear receptors that may play important roles in regulation of cell proliferation and survival. However, he falsified some figures, according to the Federal Register. To speed the process, though, Cheskis ne...

Have a look! (And thanks to Alex Cigale for making me aware of the journal. While you're there, check out his translations from the Russian.)

P. Lovecraft story. The neighborhood children have long since come by for their Hershey Bars. Fortunately for my stomach, I think that they took all of them. One of them was dressed up with a rubber John McCain mask, his own choice. They are a heavily Republican bunch. They always stop by our house first, after the taking of pictures of everyone in their costume, since we are the closest neighbor (we’re actually in between their two houses).   Peter came over a few minutes later, complete with chihuahua, all dressed up in his Halloween outfit for us. This year, he was Hugh Hefner, in pajamas, red velvet smoking jacket, and pipe. Beatrix, sitting posed in the crook of his arm, was dressed up as a chi... white pebble blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1926573 Sat, 01 Nov 2008 02:52:19 +0100 1926573 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1428953&cid=t_169361_87_f&fid=34595&url=http%3A%2F%2Fnhsblogdoc.blogspot.com%2F2008%2F05%2Ftopers-on-train.html No sooner has Boris fallen off the wagon than he has decided that the common-folk of London are not to be allowed to drink on trains. Presumably, members of the Bullingdon Club will be exempted from the rule, but then they would be in the restaurant car. Is this intrusion into civil liberties justified? Does the end justify the means?It seems a good idea to persuade people to leave their cars and take the train, and a dirty railway carriage smelling of stale beer is hardly tempting. The Devil has launched a tirade of anglo-saxon about boozing on the train.I cannot get very excited.

I do not know. I never use the word “alcoholic” in a medical, diagnostic context. To most, the word “alcoholic” conjures up a picture of an unshaven man drinking Carlsberg Special Brew at breakfast time, the tin partially concealed in a brown paper bag. Drinkers everywhere take comfort that they have not reached that stage. They may still have a serious problem. When I was a medical student – and at that stage I was partial to a pint, as were most medical students – I had an attachment with a well respected local GP. He drank gargantuan amounts of alcohol. His unit count must have been in three figures. He stopped drinking. Every year. For a month. From 1st to 31st of January. He was quite open about this. “I do it to prove that I am in cont...

I have now been able to stick my head back in the door. Depending on where you go, it is stale beer and sweat. You can't win. The London mayoral election does not effect me. I suppose I would vote for Boris, on the basis that I would vote for anyone to get rid of Ken, but it's the choice from hell.Now a worrying story from Recess Monkey. Boris voted against the ban in the House of Commons. I can understand that on the basis of a non-paternalistic, libertarian approach. Recess Monkey implies...well, no, he more or less states that Boris may have other reasons for his vote. Other reasons that may mean London pubs once again being smoky. Still, maybe that will be a compensation for the thimbles in whic...

He is going to charge the owners of Chelsea Tractors £25 a day for taking their gas guzzlers into “town”. It will not affect me. I have only driven in London twice in the last six months and the Crippen Toyota Previa (four children, Ken, what else can we do?) has relatively modest emissions. As Iain Dale vehemently points out, the charge will not apply in some of the most congested parts of London, such as Crouch End and Willesdon. The people most affected will be voting for Boris anyway.But Ken Livingstone knows what makes Londoners tick. He is a Londoner through and through. He says so himself."Sometimes I watch people from my window in City Hall. Down below, like ants. They’re out to get me. Ungrateful scum....
