We had a great turnout at the May 23 Wilmington Pharma/Bio/CRO Networking event.

We had a great turnout at the May 23 Wilmington Pharma/Bio/CRO Networking event. Thanks to all who were there. Mishelle Smith with the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation Raleigh office was able to share with many attendees information about the Wilmington “Pipeline to a Cure” fundraiser taking place on August 3rd.

FOCM Member Card Recipient Ceremony

Yes, this is proof that some news improves with time. I have developed an AI algorithm which determines the best time to post stories and events. It’s not always important to be timely. Just as the best wines are aged to perfection, so too, does FOCM apply the same principle.

In June of 2015 at the annual Drug Information Association (DIA) conference, Megan O’Keefe received her FOCM membership card. At the time Megan was working for Synteract. I believe (this is where the aging of posts’ algorithm has a bug – my memory can be fuzzy) we were introduced by Erin Tabet and Kim Martinez at that conference. I am pretty sure that is Kim behind me.

Photographic evidence is below:
