our panelist today first up is peter lurry. previously he was the associate commissioner for public health strategy and analysis at the fda. and in our packets there are much longer bios for these very distinguished people. second is dr. erin turner. his research is aimed at increasing medical transparency to make the evidence base more complete, truthful and reliable. and then third we have dr. michael curome. health citizen is one of the leading public health advocacy groups in the country and editor of a monthly newsletter that provides reviews of the safety and prescription of over the counter drugs. unfortunately our fourth panelists was not able to be here because of extended jury duty she had. so she is serving the public in a different duty today but is not able to be with us. i would like to start with dr. lurry and please save all our your questions and we'll collect them at the end and hopefully have a good discussion at that point. thank you very much. >> okay, good morning, everybody. and thanks for the opportunity
