This is a wonderful series that (rightfully) gets posted here a lot. I'd like to point out that the author's blog is also worth digging into for interesting and insightful posts about the modern pharmaceutical industry. For example: http://pipeline.corante.com/archives/2012/03/08/erooms_law.p... (how knowing more has actually made us worse at finding effective drugs).

This guy is by far the funniest blogger I know of, I regularly and literally shed tears laughing at his "things I won't work with" blog.

And at the same freaking time he writes great thought-provoking posts about the serious stuff. Amazing.
