This blog is offered to those of you who would like additional interaction and information outside the textbooks, readings, and class discussion. I will typically revisit an issue discussed in class, and then pose a series of questions (Qs). Have fun! Jim

So, to combat the issue of SFFC antimalarials, these interdisciplinary teams may benefit from the skills of pharmacologists (who know drugs), forensic scientists (can see real vs fake in an analysis), chemists (to test the suspect compounds), law enforcement (to trace the smugglers' routes from source to point-of-sale, and economists (to tally up the costs).
Qs: Who else should be on the team, and why? What are other corollaries to this problem and what can we learn from them, e.g., tobacco smuggling? If you were in charge, how would you tackle this problem? Who should lead point, among the team members? What would be the desired outcome you would want?
