QDIS Blog

This is my first post to this blog and I thought I’d set out to describe what this blog is all about. First, about the name. QD Information Services is the name of my consulting company with the “QD” coming from the LIbrary of Congress classification for chemistry. This blog will cover issues related to chemistry in general with a focus on organic chemistry and the drug development process since I’ve spent all my professional life working in development. By development, I mean the timeframe after drug discovery up to and including commercialization. So I’ll mention articles related to development, chemistry articles from major journals of interest to me, and general pharmaceutical news. i’ll also cover tips on searching the internet with a focus on finding sources of science and chemistry information.

I’m also a long time Macintosh user so I’ll occasionally mention Mac related software that I think may be of interest as well as the occasional rants. Other tech news such as podcasts and the use of RSS will be mentioned again with a focus on how they apply to science.

If you want to know more about me, read the About Ed Vawter page under internal links on the left. The page About this blog will give a tour of the functionality of this blog setup as well as some of the topics it will cover.
