Pharmalot Buys the Pharm

As most of our readers have probably already learned, Pharmalot closed its electronic doors last week. Manager/editor/everything else Ed Silverman accepted a buyout from the blog’s owner, The Star-Ledger of New Jersey.

For the last three years or so, Pharmalot was part of the daily routine of anyone and everyone who followed the pharmaceutical industry. It will be missed. Since it shut down, I’ve drowsily clicked on my Pharmalot bookmark first thing in the morning on more than one occasion and been disappointed to find the goodbye message staring back at me. I still haven’t deleted the bookmark, though.

According to several different sources, Ed Silverman will soon be working for Elsevier, presumably covering some of the same subjects he covered so ably at Pharmalot. We wish him good luck, and we expect good things. Soon. We’re very demanding here at the Pharma Compliance Blog.

And, lastly, I apologize for the headline – at the PCB, we just can’t resist a good pun. Or a really, really bad one.
