The Blogroll

Email This Entry

Posted by Derek

This is long, long, overdue, but I've finally gone through the blogroll and cleared out the dead sites, of which there are (were) many. Stage Two will be adding news ones. I already have a list going, with an eye on getting them in this weekend, but I'd be glad to hear about others that I might have missed. Chemistry / biology / pharma / science blogs that I don't yet link to, anyone? Add 'em to the comments if you have some, and thanks!

Pharmalot was the site I looked-up for day -to day news on the pharma industry. Since it is no more, any site which can replace will be very useful.
thanks

FredCoBio: it's only about biotech happening in my little biosphere, but I do get some good insider information, at times!

Kinase Pro is still there, isn't it? perhaps not as active as it used to be, but still, there have been sporadic postings, even two in the last month.

Also, although it is from a commercial site, the Sigma-Aldrich chemblog is updated several times a month and has some decent reviews in it:

A link to Fierce Pharma alongside Fierce Biotech seems appropriate. There is a lot of overlap, but some distinction between the news services / blogs.

It's more a technology and gadgets blog with a science twist than a science blog, but it's where I learned about this blog, so it can't be all bad.

Here's one - it's rather "antipharma", but it makes for an interesting read. The author posts almost daily about Schering-Plough related news topic and pharma related topics.

Looks like "Young Female Scientist" still hasn't found a job. And now the economy is in a really bad shape and her fellowship is running out. It's starting to look like a bad re-run of that "Living the Scientific Life" blog from a few years ago. Except that the bird scientist is still posting pretty pictures while being unemployed so I'm starting to read that more than YFS these days.

I just don't know if I could bear it if YFS didn't get a job... I'd be seriously depressed even though it's a complete anonymous stranger. Oh, the drama!

I would certainly appreciate a link. I promise to provide only the best in quantitative and qualitative analysis of the chemistry job market.

I'm sure you'll disagree with Ben Goldacre on many issues, but I love him

To ring in the new year, I acted on a latent passion by launching a blog on all things healthcare, including the pharma industry and biotech research:

Hope you find it worth a perusal!

Derek, you may (or may not) be interested in my Pharma Strategy Blog: http://www.pharmastrategyblog.com

It's most about the science and biology of cancer and new R&D developments in the oncology field.

I was sorry to see Pharmalot go, that has been one of my favourites on the Pharma world since it started.

I don't know if you're interested in linking this up, but I felt that undergrads were an under-represented bunch in the science blogging world so I decided to take a stab at it. A lot posts are random musings about my courses, science education, my ever changing academic interests, and my reactions papers that I take a stab at reading, but in any case here it is: http://cbbsynthon.blogspot.com/
