It could be a lab-style notebook, a to-do list on your phone, file folders, or 3 × 5 cards on a bulletin board—find what works for you. Whatever the system, you need to be able to edit and rearrange the items as conditions change and delete items you have completed. When building your list, consider the size of the pieces included.

“I have a lab notebook in my office of one of the first R&D people on their second or third project, which was increasing bioavailability of fish oil.” Scherer was purchased in 1998 by Cardinal Health, which spun out its pharmaceutical services business as Catalent in 2007. Catalent has since acquired Pharmatek Laboratories, a drug services firm with spray-drying capabilities, and Juniper Pharmaceuticals, an expert in spray drying, nanomilling, and hot-melt extrusion—a method of melting a substance and forcing it through a die to form a new structure; it is widely employed in plastics and has more recently been adapted to pharmaceutical particle design applications.

(Her lab notebooks might provide insight.) My supposition is that either she was splashed with more dimethylmercury than what was released from the pipette through her glove, or there was another method of ingestion, conceivably involving the deliberate actions of another individual. Samuel Brauer Shelton, Connecticut Editor’s note: An investigation into Karen Wetterhahn’s death concluded, “The rapid, monophasic, first-order increase in the mercury content of hair is consistent with either one or several episodes of exposure to dimethylmercury beginning on or about August 14, 1996, and is consistent with the evidence (reports from coworkers and information from labeled vials and laboratory notebooks) that a single accidental exposure to dimethylmercury occurred on August 14. . . .

Paxlovid’s existence is remarkable, considering that its antiviral ingredient—originally called PF-07321332 and recently dubbed nirmatrelvir—wasn’t even a sketch in a medicinal chemist’s lab notebook 2 years ago. The antiviral went from an idea to the first clinical test in a person in 12 months—a breathtaking pace at which to deliver a bespoke drug candidate.

When Pratt was about 8 years old, her parents bought her a chemistry kit—including a little lab notebook, in which she dutifully logged her experiments—“and from there, my love just grew.” When she got to university, studying chemistry was an obvious choice—but not by any outside measures. Indigenous women account for less than 1% of the science and engineering degrees awarded in Canada.
