Every blogger has a first post. This is mine. Over the next few entries I will cover some of the basics:1) Who am I
2) What is the purpose of my blog
3) Why should you even care
The first personal goal is to contribute useful material everyday. The second is to improve my communication skills.
For my readers my goal is to transfer the knowledge of imaging in pharmaceutical and biological research. To give a leg up on understanding and using imaging as a tool to conduct successful research.
We all stand on the "shoulders of giants." I am no exception. Much of what I know was given to me by respected individuals freely sharing their knowledge and wisdom. I would like to be a conduit so we can see clearly over the crowds. Some the these shoulders I would like to thank are: Edward Tufte, John Russ, Chris Russ, Mortimer Abramowitz, and Ashley Manning Still to name but a few.
Sometimes the topic will be technical - usually concerning imaging in biomedicine. Other times it will be more philosophical look at life.
This blog will also support efforts to increase the proper use of Photoshop by biomedical clinicians and researchers.
My credentials briefly are:
Career
20 years Biological research in Chemical and Pharmaceutical industry
Education
B.A. in Biology (1988)
M.B.A. (1998)
Passion
Computer technology - First computer 1983 Atari 400, and many Macs and PCs since then
"computers are a tool not a religion"
Current Affiliation
Adobe's Biomedical Image Advisory Group - http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshopextended/medical/
There you will find more information about the use of Photoshop in Biomedicine as well as individual success stories and useful white papers.
I welcome you to learn, apply, and teach the best practices you find in this blog.
Take and give care,
Eric J. Wexler
