Twenty one years ago this month, in May 1987, Irish rockers U2 released their classic Joshua Tree single, I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For. Those twenty one years have seen incredible technological change: the adoption of desktop computers, mobile phones, the birth of the Web and the widespread use of search engines like Google. So with sincere apologies to Bono, The Edge, Adam and Larry, it's time we updated the lyrics for the 21st century. So, I give you "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Googling For" (21st anniversary, 2008 webby edition)...

Scientists usually share information with collaborators from all around the world. For that purpose, eyeOS (www.eyeos.org) provides an invaluable system to access and share documents, create and save data files or store crucial personal and professional information.

To see eyeOS widely used by scientists all around the world, we initiated the eyeLIMS project ! eyeLIMS is a community-driven project which aims at providing a Free, web-based, Open Source Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) powered by eyeOS.

Hi every body. I had a question I would be gald if anyone help me.
I know that bioinformatics is speeding up stem cells projects. How this interdiciplinary field can help EC projects?what is the realationship between them?

The Ensembl Weblog provides news, views and announcements about the Ensembl Genome Browser. The blog has been going for a few years now, but I’ve only just become aware of it thanks to a recent Ensembl Genome Browser Tutorial by Bert Overduin. Catching up on posts from Ensemblians this year, Ewan Birney wrote a piece about The Gene Love-in last week and Paul Flicek briefly described the 1000 Genomes project back in January. The Ensembl Weblog is fairly low traffic, so if you don’t already read it, it’s worth considering subscribing to the feed.

And it’s good to see more scientists using blogs to communicate. Long may this trend continue!

There are a few remaining places left on the Building Scientific Workflows for Bioinformatics and Systems biology using Taverna course held in Manchester, UK on 15th April 2008. Attendance at the workshop is free, but participants will have to cover their own travel costs. Due to the hands-on nature of the workshop, numbers are limited to 30, so there is a ‘first-come, first-serve’ policy on bookings. Book now to avoid disappointment!

Not long ago I thought that conference travel was a perk of the trade, and helped compensate for the academic salary and lack of six-figure bonuses. This was despite the fact that I have been a leftie/green for as long as I can remember. Denial works in mysterious ways. Now I have read Six degrees by Mark Lynas and see airport expansion potentially going crazy in London - and I think maybe all this conference travel can be reduced.

Hi,
I'm very new to drupal, and not a programmer... though I have several (without drupal experience) in my lab.

I would like to take the results of a pubmed search at NCBI, and use the feed in drupal.
I can get the RSS link to work nicely in NetNewsWire (Mac).
When I use drupal aggregator everything is displayed (abstract etc), I want to just list out the titles.
I've tried to use the NCBI controls to regulate the output, but it seems tat doesn't apply to the RSS feed which gets everything.

Dear Colleagues,

If you're interested, spread the word.

Bio::Blogs 19 is fast approaching, hot on the heels of Bio::Blogs 18 which was hosted by Michael Barton. I'll be hosting this one over at O'Really? and publishing it at the beginning of March, so send any interesting stuff to bioblogs /ate/ gmail.com. The broad theme of this issue of BioBlogs will be the relationship between Biology and Engineering, following on from this interview published on Edge.org "Engineering and Biology": A Talk with Drew Endy.
