Hello Kristen amazing what we stumble on when we are wandering around the web isn't it? Im Dianne and I live in Queensland, Australia. Welcome to SW, you sound like the sort of person it is good to know when one is unsure as to what drug has caused a certain type of death in a victim and if indeed it was the cause of death at all. Hope you enjoy!

Hi Diane, yes that sort of question is right up my alley! Thanks for saying hello

Hi Kristen -- what kind of science are you into?

Hi Amy,

I'm a drug discovery biologist for a major pharmaceutical company.  I presently work on cancer drugs, but have a past in immunology and infectious diseases as well.  All of these things play heavily into my novels, of which I'm working on the second one.  Thank you for asking...feel free to check out said books at www.kristenelisephd.com and my blog at www.kristenelisephd.blogspot.com.  Cheers!

Interesting for sure.  MOST of the time interesting in a good way :)

That sounds super interesting! Have you read Ann Patchett's new book? Her main character works for a pharmaceutical company -- good stuff.

I haven't!  But sounds like fun.  I like reading books with similar aspects to my own, if only to make sure I didn't unwittingly plagiarize the other author LOL

Hers is only a thriller in a very loose sense of the word so I think you'll be okay -- lol. Happy Thursday!
