Pharmalot Is No More
Posted by Derek
I noted with sadness yesterday that Ed Silverman has packed in the Pharmalot blog. He did an excellent job there, picking up a lot of industry news from all over. Most of it was in the “Trouble for Company X” vein, but that’s to be expected. Ed’s a good reporter, and “Things Going Fine Over at Company X” is not much of a story. If this item is correct, though, we’ll be seeing more of him, which I’m glad to hear. The newspaper business is in even worse shape than the drug industry, so I’m glad to see it when someone there lands safely. (People still need pharmaceuticals; they’re not so sure if they need newspapers so much).

Damn! Pharmalot was #2 in my go-to pharma blog read list (after this site). This is a major loss. It doesn't look like Ed's new job will include blogging, so I guess that's about it...
Hope you stick around, Derek...!

Pharmalot was a wonderful blog and information source. It will be sorely missed. Shame, but so it goes. Regular readers of Pharmalot should consider heading over to the site and just saying thanks. I just did anyway.

Like KwadGuy, Pharmalot and In The Pipeline were my two must reads every day.
That said, Derek, the blog list needs to be updated. Make that badly updated. Some of these blogs have died, others are no longer being updated. There are lots of new replacements for them.

As a Pharmalot "regular," I have been glad to see just how widely Ed's work was recogized. I did not realize the impact Pharmalot had. A great loss.
