Yeah I was looking for that but didn't find it in the paper, someone else here linked to pubchem in this thread. It's 3-(4-pyridinyl)-2-(napthylmethyl)-pyrazole N-oxide or somethin…

Shouldn't be too bad. My gut would be toa naphthalene acetic acid ester, treat with LDA, add (4-pyridinyl)acetaldehyde to get a diketone by claisen-type condensation, then treat wi…

Also you can cut them open when you are done. Can't do that to people. Sometimes you need biochemical tests and imaging very quickly post mortem to avoid changes in protein postran…

Then your get dropout problems and by the time there is an effect you don't have the statistical power to detect it. You need 3-6 months on an AD, psychiatic, metabolic, or autoimm…

I work in the side of academia that feeds drug leads to pharma and have seen this process. The big problem aside from time is cost and scale. You might start with either a million …

Well for the studios the art is the product. For researchers the ideas and data are the product and the writing is packaging. It's not a perfect analogy but it gets across why I pe…
