I got a message asking why the blog was called "Bringing Home The Bacon". Well it's a really nerdy pun, which can be read as "Bringing Home Thebacon". Thebacon is the INN name of an opiate drug, and the idiom Bringing home the bacon means providing for the family. So it captures one of the very serious elements that I want to cover here, the link between drug discovery and the economic benefits of our work in this sector, albeit expressed in a pun on a class 1 regulated substance.
The pun was shamelessly appropriated from the excellent xkcd cartoon pictured above.
