Just a short note if you're interested in meeting up: I'll be in the US over the next two weeks. I'll be attending Discovery 2 Diagnostics in Philadelphia from Monday the 17th until Wednesday, after which I'll be in New York until Friday morning. I plan to stay over the weekend in LA, and then from Monday until Wednesday I'll be in San Fransisco. The whole trip will be sponsored by my company, but evenings will be free, so if you're in the area, have some time and would like me to buy you a beer then get in touch: greg.tyrelle@gmail.com.

If you haven't read the hilarious press-release from the Partnership for Research Integrity in Science & Medicine, I've provided a handy little translation.

The Journal of Biomedical Informatics (JBI), will soon be publishing their special issue on Semantic Biomedical Mashups (can you fit any more buzzwords into a Call For Papers?!). Ben Good and friends have submitted a paper on their Entity Describer which extends connotea using some Semantic Web goodness. They'd appreciate your comments on their submitted manuscript over at i9606. As Ben says, their pre-publication turns out to be an interesting experiment "figuring out how blogging might fit into the academic publishing landscape". If this interests you, get commenting now!

On this blog, my aim is to make medicine, genetics more readable even for those who are not too interested in them. That’s why I mostly write about genetic testing, personalized genetics, the most important news of clinical genetics and, of course, popular medicine.

I also work on the relationship between web 2.0 and medicine. I try to provide useful content; tools and services that could ease the work of physicians, medical students, nurses or medical librarians.
