  1. The thing that surprised me most about the article is that people believe the methods the pharmacy companies use to find new drugs are a failure. I find this surprising because, in my mind, I always thought that it was a really good method. It usually cures you, unless you don't take it for the full prescribed number of days.

    No, I didn't imagine that pharmaceutical drugs were designed on computer software. Now that I think about it, it makes sense. I guess I just never thought about it.

    The thing that most suprised me about thins article was that they are making a new way to make drug.
    I guess that it is because they want to make healthier drugs.

  7. The surprising thing was that the timeframe for creating targeted drugs is measured in decades, not days.

    Why? because i didn't even know it was measured in anything.

  28. Nope, i never tought that prescription drugs were designed through computer program.

    I thought that they would just try different mixes on animals and used whatever worked on humans.

    ReplyDelete
  29. The thing that surprised me the most is that threats against human health are a target.

    the reason this surprised me themost is because i never knew that it was something i barely found out.

    I didnt think that they were made on the computer that was somthing else i learned today michelle moore(:

  30. What struck me about the article is that drugs used to cure you are said to be a failure this does not sound like its true because it does work if you take the medicine for as many days as you need to.

    I did not know they were made in the computer i think that is pretty awesome

  31. what interested me was that now there coming up with ways to find drugs.this is because that is a good thing that way there will be less of them.

  33. What supprised me the most about the most was that they created a drug with the computer. It shocked me because I always thought that they were made by pharmasist.

  34. The thing that interested me the most is the time it takes for drugs to evolve.

    Because it is too much time and there is a lot of viruses out there that can be harmful for humans.

  39. the thing that surprised me was that they are planning to use parts of some drugs for new medicine because i thought that drugs are bad, so if they use that in medicine then a bunch of people are going to get sick.
