Hello and welcome to the threadiverse’s pharmacology discussion forum!
If you are familiar with r/DrugNerds on reddit, this is intended to be a very similar community, albeit hopefully with a wider focus. r/DrugNerds tends to be heavily oriented toward discussion of psychoactives and nootropics, whereas I would like DrugNerds to serve people with interests in all subfields of pharmacology.
My hope is that in coming here you will be just as likely to find an article about Rational Drug Design, or a paper about the discovery of a new antibiotic, or a link to an especially pithy Derek Lowe post, as you will be to see a post about a recreational drug or nootropic.
Reading the rules is mandatory and breaking them in your first post may result in an immediate ban, so head to the sidebar now and scan them over!

Cool! Glad to see the focus on actual good science. I work professionally in Biologics drug development, but more on the manufacturing side than the research/discovery side. It can be hard to find actually good discussion forums that don’t just get filled up with armchair experts that focus only on a couple illicit active ingredients.
I quit reddit quite a while ago now, but I noticed over the past ~18 months or so when I would go slumming and poke around, r/DrugNerds has been almost entirely taken over by posts about recreational & nootropic drugs. I have absolutely nothing against discussing those - I wait with bated breath for new kratom research, for instance - but I like learning about all kinds of drugs, and wanted a place to post links when I’m doing a little light pharma reading for funsies, so … now we have this community :)
