Book and CD





(The author) is thus in a position to convey a coherent picture of the most intrinsically complex matters and facilitate both a digestible entry for the newcomer or interested outsider and a helpful overview for the expert professional or insider. This has been achieved in an outstanding fashion.”

From a review of The Science and Business of Drug Discovery in ChemMedchem

 
“The DVD is excellent and complements the text with vivid examples of presentation dos and don'ts. Universities would do well to provide this set to their science graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, although scientific professionals at any career stage would greatly benefit from this guidance. The compact book and DVD set is designed to travel with the presenter and is likely to become a frequent reference for years to come."
