Top of the morning to you, and a fine one, it is. Yes, we are feeling cheery today, thanks to sunny skies and moderating temperatures enveloping the Pharmalot campus. Moreover, the view from our window offers us a look at a cornucopia of fluttering leaves and colorful trees. A nice way to start the day. So to celebrate, we are brewing cups of stimulation — we are stuck on maple pecan, for those who track this sort of thing — and invite you to join us. While you consider what to do, here are some tidbits. Hope your day is successful and, of course, do keep in touch.

In 2018, 68 trials with results were posted out of 135 completed trials.
