This article is new enough and long enough. The hook facts are cited to an off-line source, the article is neutral, and I did not detect any copyright issues. No QPQ is needed because Biochemistry&Love is new to DYK. I hope there will be further new articles to come! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:47, 31 July 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I came by to promote this, and think the article is nicely written. I marked a one-sentence paragraph that needs a citation, per WP:DYKSG#D2. I'm having trouble finding the ALT0 hook fact in the source given (footnote 4); could you point it out to me? Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:06, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Thank you both for the reviews! I appreciate the praise; I'm still new to writing articles and the like. @Yoninah, thank you for your feedback! I have cited that line as requested. As per ALT0 hook fact, these are the quotes that I used to generate that statement:

"The term clinical pharmaceutical scientist was originally developed within the profession of pharmacy and was applied to pharmacy practitioners who became scientists." (emphasis in bold)

"Historically, some CPSs began their careers as clinical pharmacists...in their pursuit of answers to therapeutic questions, they turned to scientific endeavors and conducted clinical research, often in the areas of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics." (emphasis in bold)

There are other definitions on p. 175 that explicitly show the evolution of the term, but there's a lot of similarities. E.g. the Millis Commission (referenced on p. 174 as well) states that CPSs are "People who are equally skilled and trained in a science and in pharmacy practice," while Smith et al explicitly use the word "pharmacist" in their definition: "Clinically experienced pharmacist capable of initiating and completing drug related research" (emphasis in bold). Evans uses the terms "independent investigator" and "clinical pharmacist." My gist was that the reference was, broadly speaking, defining a CPS as both a "pharmacist" and a "scientist."―Biochemistry🙴❤ 23:34, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

OK, now I'm seeing it cited in a few places under "Modern conceptualization". Thanks for adding the cite. Restoring tick per Cwmhiraeth's review. Yoninah (talk) 17:35, 2 August 2017 (UTC)
