But that’s all I have to say. Flower: Thanks very much, Jeff. Does anyone want to comment on the question of the nomenclature and how clinical pharmacology got its name?

Of course, such commitment is very heavy in terms of time, the total number of sessions one has to perform, and I guess until Patrick Vallance came to UCH we were understaffed. A seven-tenths clinical commitment and teaching obligation didn’t leave so much time for research.
