LCCC Closed Chemistry Interview

The students in English 105 Honors at Lehigh Carbon Community College interviewed Kim Ashman, Director of Quality and Compliance, at Sonofi-Aventis. While she discusses "closed" chemistry and drug development, the students are using this information to frame an argument to promote Open Notebook Science. Some of the questions discuss patenting and competition and large mergers.
