long career in medical informatics
After spending too long at Columbia, taking degrees in Comparative Religion, the History of the Sciences, and Modern European Cultural History, he consulted to the pharmaceutical industry on professional communications and the development of full-text biomedical databases for many years, chiefly at Kaim Associates. He sat on the board of Ovid Technologies and evaluated third-party technology while developing a full-text search application optimized for medical literature that is still popular.
