The Author of a Fictional Slave Advertisement
No full textColson Whitehead’s 2016 novel, The Underground Railroad, describes the adventures of Cora, a runaway slave from a Georgian plantation. Although a historical entity, Whitehead’s railroad deviates from history’s figurative railroad to a physical one. While Whitehead’s interpretation of the underground railroad is divergent from historical fact, he still grounds his work with the inclusion of all but one authentic runaway slave advertisement. My focus within this essay is centered on Whitehead\u27s final advertisement, which is for Cora. In examining the poster and the unique characteristics of Ridgeway (the slave-catcher), Homer (Ridgeway’s companion), Cora, and Terrance Randall (owner of the Georgia plantation), I attempt to determine the author of the final slave advertisement in The Underground Railroad
Functional pharmacology: the drug discovery bottleneck?
No full textIt is our contention that functional pharmacology, particularly in vivo, must play a greater role in drug discovery if the promises of reductionist techniques are to be brought to full fruition. Despite the advent of high-throughput screening, combinatorial chemistry and informatics, the number of new chemical entities (NCEs) coming on the market has fallen. While the advent of these methodologies makes it possible to move very quickly from molecular target to lead compound, the problem of demonstrating therapeutic utility remains. Has proof of concept (in vivo) become the bottleneck in drug discovery? This article focuses on this problem, and discusses what can be done about it.
