New Year’s Eve, again
… and as you read this post, Alan and I will be on our way home. We might get back in time for me to plant bulbs in the light; if not, I’ll do it in the darkness. (It’s something I did on New Year’s Eve last year, and I got such pleasure from it that I’m determined to do it again.) Today marks four years from my first round of chemotherapy. This year, that feels like an abstract, something that happened to someone else; or the sort of ‘oh yes, I remember’ you have when someone reminds you of an old schoolmate or a shop that isn’t there any more. The fear, the unhappiness, the...

End of the year favorites – movies
Not a great year for movies, but we still went to see quite a few.  I waited until I saw Les Miserables (we saw it last night). 1. Argo – you know how it ends, and they still create tension.  It also gave me a nickname for a good friend.  Alan Arkin and John Goodman were absolutely brilliant 2. End of Watch – not on anyone else's list, but the brutality and believability of the performances and the plot moved me.  Great acting IMHO. 3. Silver Linings – an interesting twist on a romantic comedy.  Not sure why I like it so much, but I found it delightful 4. Lincoln – maybe...

Just a big list in the new year
I'm not doing well medically, which is dragging my depressed mood even deeper, so not much to say. Here's just another big list of places I've browsed over the last week.

WHO will switch to type 2 inactivated poliovirus vaccine
The World Health Organization’s campaign to eradicate poliomyelitis made impressive inroads in 2012: only 212 cases were reported, compared with 620 the previous year; moreover, India remained polio-free. The dark side of this story is that as wild polio is eliminated, vaccine-associated poliomyelitis moves in to take its place. The landmark decision by WHO to replace the infectious, type 2 Sabin poliovaccine with inactivated vaccine is an important step towards eliminating vaccine-associated polio. A known side effect of the Sabin poliovirus vaccines, which are taken orally and replicate in the intestine, is vaccine...

When it rains
I was going to finally write something of substance but then I received a phone call from a relative of one of the 2 last living friends I have, informing me that the major surgery he underwent for cancer did not go well. He had a heart attack during or shortly after surgery and they have him heavily sedated and under close supervision in ICU. He may have brain damage but they will not know until later Here is a guy who's 68, never drank or did drugs, was not overweight, hardly had so much as a cold for the 35 years I have known him and had not seen a doctor for any reason for over 20 years, then toward the end of last...

Poliovirus on Time
Poliovirus has made the cover of Time magazine. The Time cover image for the 14 January 2013 issue is a model of poliovirus bound to a soluble form of its cellular receptor, CD155. I was part of the team that solved the structure of this complex in 2000, together with the laboratories of Jim Hogle and Alasdair Steven. The structure of the same complex was also solved by Rossmann’s group. The image that Time used for the cover was produced by Laguna Design, although I do not know whether they used our structural information or Rossmann’s. The Time cover image is accompanied by the text: One thing stands in the w...

The Impact of Caronia Case: What Happens Next?
Last month, in a landmark ruling, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in United States v. Caronia, vacated the criminal conviction of a pharmaceutical sales representative who was found guilty of conspiracy to introduce a misbranded drug, under the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (FDCA), because he spoke about off-label uses of a particular drug.  The court held “that the government cannot prosecute pharmaceutical manufacturers and their representatives under the FDCA for speech promoting the lawful, off-label use of an FDA-approved drug.”  In a client alert written by the law firm Arnold & P...

Resolutions, Exercise Trackers & Operant Conditioning
“… To get in shape” is one of the most common New Year’s resolutions, and arguably the one most often broken. For some, the solution may lie in the new wave of exercise trackers. Wristbands and other gadgets rely on operant conditioning — the potential for feedback from the environment to affect desired (or undesired) behavior. Depending on the gadget, trackers provide can provide personalized information about information including: the number of steps taken per day (which is then converted into miles traversed or calories burned); total calories consumed; and the length and depth of nightly sleep. Some...

One of my nine
Every time I listen to Desert Island Discs, which is as often as possible, I start to wonder what I’d choose in the hypothetical situation where (a) I am on a desert island which is mysteriously equipped with the ability to play records, or (b) I am asked to appear on ‘Desert Island Discs’ myself. After a little bit of thinking about this, I have to go and have a coffee and something nibbly, as I am so exhausted by the effort. But there’s one disc that would go with me for sure. Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong singing ‘Summertime’. Not only is it gloriously happy-making, but it would...
