About the author
David Kroll, the writer also still known as Abel Pharmboy, is a university professor in the southern United States specializing in science and health writing, public understanding of science and medicine, and the identification of drugs from natural sources. David earned his PhD in pharmacology and therapeutics and a BS in toxicology. He speaks here on general issues of pharmacology, toxicology, and therapeutics, and is especially dedicated to the professional development of scientists from underrepresented groups, including first-generation college students and low-wealth students from all backgrounds.Contact: You can contact David by gmail to abelpharmboy.
Disclaimer: The opinions expressed here are solely those of the author and do not represent those of his affiliated academic institutions, funding agencies, or professional organizations.
The reader should note that his writing is provided only for information and discussion. With regard to your own health and medication regimens, you should consult with your physician and other appropriately-credentialed and licensed healthcare professionals. David's Mom wanted him to be a "real" doctor but, alas, he is not.
David will also hold forth here on many issues peripheral to pharmacology and the history of science, including music, food, and the natural splendor and culture of Colorado, Florida, and North Carolina. And on rare occasions, he will uphold the ancient blogger tradition of sharing with you what he had for breakfast.
If you already find this sidebar too lengthy, David can be found in 140-character brevity on Twitter: @davidkroll.
