Talk:Polymersome

WikiProject Medicine may be wrong category?

Polymersomes represent an active area of research in the boundary area where chemistry, biology and materials science come together; it is not yet an area that would interest practising physicians.

The article is currently under active editing. While not yet perhaps at the level of an expert, I am actively involved in a polymersome research project, with access to several people who are experts. I hope to have this article in better shape before long.Hughesdavidw (talk) 08:25, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Wikiproject medicine is not good at all. But then again, the article itself is very sketchy... I've been wanting to completely rewrite it for a while now, but could never find the time. But all in all, yes, it is too heavily focused on biomedical stuff. Biology is not even inherently relevant to polymersomes. Stijndon (talk) 11:45, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, a complete re-write would be useful, and probably more efficient than the piecemeal approach I've been doing. (Then again, I'm trying to edit on the fly, while working in the lab actually making some polymersomes.) I'm not satisfied with the wording or the organization, though I've been trying to respect previous contributions by retaining (and upgrading) them. But as you say, a complete rewrite would be a good idea.

I agree, biology isn't inherently relevant. The main reason that potential medical uses are emphasized in the literature appears to be that that is where the money is, today.Hughesdavidw (talk) 10:22, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Your "that's where the money is" comment totally made my day! That, and a successful synthesis ;) Stijndon (talk) 18:22, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
