Pharmacist and seasoned regulatory professional Max Sherman has written on science and medical topics for years, and began writing for RAPS’ magazine
Regulatory Affairs Focus, as it was called at the time, more than a decade ago. Over the years, his writing has covered a range of diverse and occasionally unusual subjects related to the practice of medicine, medical research, regulatory issues, biology, chemistry and other related disciplines.
He has taught university-level classes on quality and regulatory affairs, and his writing is often educational, whether it’s a history lesson about quack medical devices, a biology lesson about bats or a peek into processes of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), it’s almost impossible not to learn something new reading one of Sherman’s articles. At the same time, he writes in an accessible and entertaining style.
RAPS has now published a collection of Sherman’s articles from
Regulatory Focus and other publications, entitled
From Alzheimer’s to Zebrafish: Eclectic Science and Regulatory Stories. I recently had a chance to talk with him about the book and his writing. Following is an edited transcript of our conversation.
