Resources

My core business is providing consultation to companies specializing in new cancer treatments. I have a special interest in the intersection of pharmaceutical science, ethnomedicine and the intellectual property rights of indigenous people.

Method

My epistemological method derives from "As We May Think," a 1945 article by Vannevar Bush, President Roosevelt's science advisor during World War II. Bush's idea eventually led to the development of the hyperlink and the World Wide Web.

Materials

Open-access references are essential to my work. First among these is PubMed Central, the free full-text archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature maintained by the US National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine. Selected additional references broaden my information-base to include topics in art and social progress.

Process

1. The first stop for a new item is my Twitter feed, where you can get immediate access to the original source with little or no analysis from me.
2. If my Twitter post doesn't exhaust what I can contribute to the information, I write a brief post on my blog.
3. As information takes shape and gains context within my practice areas of health, art and social progress, it finds a home here on my website.
