Foo's Gold

Mon, 2006-08-28 18:24 — Duncan

Tom Oinn, lead developer of the Open Source Taverna toolkit, has posted some (quite bad) pictures from SciFoo (Science Friends Of O'Reilly), which might be of interest. Some (much better) pictures of this Scifoo at the Googleplex can be found on Flickr.

Bio:: Blogs #3 Final Call

Sat, 2006-08-26 12:51 — mndoci

Bio::Blogs edition 3 is due at my blog on September 1. This is the final reminder. In case you don't remember, here are the rules

You can submit a blog entry of your own, or of one that you've read and enjoyed. The only "rules" are: it must be from a blog, it should be recent and the topic should be in the broad area of bioinformatics or computational biology. As always, we'll divide the submissions into conferences, primers/reviews and blog articles. I might throw in some surprises as well.

Send your submissions to bioblogs [at] gmail.com.

Science Foo Camp report

Tue, 2006-08-15 09:32 — PedroBeltrao

I am back in Heidelberg after the weekend in the Googleplex in the Science Foo Camp. I missed the introduction to the meeting due to flight delays but you can read about it here and here. The schedule was set up on a board where anyone could write in a talk on one of the slots. There where up to 14 small and big rooms available at any time for anyone to set up a discussion.

Communicating Biology to Computer Scientists

The Human GenomeMany computer scientists and software engineers are not familiar with basic biology or bioinformatics. Many biologists and bioinformaticians are not familiar with basic computer science or software engineering. This article points to some resources that can help with the former, and asks, what can be done about the latter?


Nodalpoint @ Science Foo Camp

Thu, 2006-08-10 18:57 — PedroBeltrao

(via Nascent) The official announcement of the upcoming Science Foo Camp is up at Nascent blog. A foo camp is a kind of self-organizing event where the program is built literally in wiki style. I don't know exactly why, but I get to go to Googleplex to hear an amazing group of people talk about their work and brainstorm some ideas that we have discussed here several times. Having seen the list of people attending and some of the expected/proposed discussions some of the things that will probably be on the agenda are unique authors IDs, open science (or science2.0), online science communities (like Synaptic Leap and OpenWetWare), data visualization and data management.


Some DNA hype left

Sun, 2006-08-06 05:51 — maximilianh

Yes, I know bioinformatics is not really a hype anymore (With the exception of India. [Why?]). However, DNA is still good enough to somehow get linked with the common Web frenzy (in its current version, hype2.0), in a strange weekend art project that doesn't distinguish between "DNA" and "agarose gel": It displays a website in the form of a gel. Huh?
As admitted by the author his inspiration is worse: A company that turns your DNA into a big gel-image that you can hang up on your wall. Can't help it, this just sounds so 2001!
