So this might seem a common theme in my few posts on NNB. But reading all the posts about scifoo here on nature network and elsewhere in the weblog world has made me resolve to get more involved in what I believe in . The power of web 2.0 and other technologies to transform science and scientific communication.
So with this post I hope to resurrect my dormant blog.
Things that caught my attention apart from the scifoo posts above
- Rosie Redfields post on microarray analysis
- The amazing “ted-talk from Jonathan Harris”http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/144 on the I feel fine project and the Universe project.
- This comes from scifoo. The eigenfactor project. I especially liked the page explaining their methods.
I would definitely check out Jonathan Harris’s work. The visual and data presentation aspects of it along with the social possibilities of his technology are indeed stunning examples of great technology.
I want to get Carl Bergstrom to talk at Ignite some time about Eigenfactor. Wonder if that’s the right crowd
Hi Hari,
Interesting Blog indeed.
