So, how cold was it?
We’ve had a cold winter so far in the USA, don’t you think? Snow in Alabama, a blizzard in Boston, another in Chicago, an ice storm in Dallas before the Super Bowl. . .Yep, it’s cold outside. But, take a look at this picture from 100 years ago. It’s hard to imagine how cold it had to have been to make Niagara Falls freeze over.

A short tour of the universe.
If you want a cheap but out-of-this-world vacation, a short tour of the universe may be just what you are looking for. This video was posted by Adam Frank last January on a National Public Radio blog called 13.7: Cosmos and Culture.
Evolving hERG Inhibition Model
Modeling hERG inhibition has significantly gained popularity since 2005, when the FDA recognized the correlation between hERG inhibition and a prolonged QT interval by issuing guidance for the…

Impressions of Monet.
I recently had the occasion to visit the Monet exhibition at the Grand Palais in Paris. Several things about this exhibit blew me away.
New Graph Library
A new graph library that provides the right graphs at the right time and with the right information has been developed by Cognigen Corporation, a leading provider of pharmacometric analysis and support services. Comprehensive graphical exploratory data analysis is essential to building pharmacometric models of drug behavior. Previously, deciding which graphs were required to describe the data and then creating a new program for each graph consumed excessive time from both scientists and programmers.
