I just need time to be creative. I have a lot of publishing opportunities which are generated from how I work... If I am this productive with all the responsibilities that I have... imagine what I could do with more time. .. In addition to a heavy teaching load, one year I was on 13 of 15 departmental committees. This doesn t include university committees. This is ridiculous ... 

Within the realm of physical reality, and most important in pharmaceutical systems, the unconstrained optimization problem is almost nonexistent. There are always restrictions that the formulator wishes to place or must place on a system, and in pharmaceuticals, many of these restrictions are in competition. For example, it is unreasonable to assume, as just described, that the hardest tablet possible would also have the lowest compression and ejection forces and the fastest disintegration time and dissolution profile. It is sometimes necessary to trade off properties, that is, to sacrifice one characteristic for another. Thus, the primary objective may not be to optimize absolutely (i.e., a maxima or minima), but to realize an overall pre selected or desired result for each characteristic or parameter. Drug products are often developed by teaching an effective compromise between competing characteristics to achieve the best formulation and process within a given set of restrictions. 

Karl grew up in a stimulating family environment with five brothers and four sisters, all of whom entered professional or business careers, or gave their time freely to service activities. While he was still in high school, Karl s aptitude for chemistry revealed itself—when the chemistry teacher was called away for service in the First World War, Karl was asked to teach his fellow students until a new teacher could be found. His choice to study Agricultural Chemistry in the University appears to have been determined in part by finances, because Link once said that, if he had had just a bit more money, he would have entered Medical School.
