A conversation with Mark Senak, J.D., EyeOnFDA
Aired LIVE on:
Tuesday, March 6, 2007
Background
There are a few lawyer bloggers in The Pharma Blogosphere and there are a few PR people blogging as well. But Mark Senak is unique in that he is both a lawyer AND a PR guy!
Mark’s blog — EyeOnFDA — was started in May, 2006 and the first post concerned crisis management at the FDA. The FDA seems stuck in crisis management so there is no fear that Mark will run out of FDA topics on which to keep his eye.
