Usually we don’t get too political on this blog. But we take a pretty clear stand on teaching evolution. And if anyone ever came to us and demanded that we “teach the controversy“, we’d laugh really hard and then move our company to a country that wasn’t completely insane. So my perspective on what happened [...]
Watch Cracking Your Genetic Code on PBS. See more from NOVA. I was finally able to watch the new NOVA program called Cracking Your Genetic Code last night. I thought it was well done overall. It’s available for viewing online at the link below, or you can probably still catch it on a DVR in [...]
Most Wednesdays our blog features a 5 minute movie introducing you to a new resource, or a new feature at a well-established resource, or something similar. Occasionally we provide you with something much more – a full length, full feature introductory tutorial on a resource. This week is one such “full feature” tip. For today’s tip [...]
Really? Cool. Besides communication technology, exponential forces are at work in computational and network systems, artificial intelligence, robotics, biotechnology, bio-informatics, nanotechnology, human-machine interfaces, and many more. These technologies will soon enable the vast majority of human beings to experience what only the affluent have had access to thus far. I’ll take it. See the discussion [...]
It’s been a about a month since I attended the ScienceOnline2012 “unconference” on science communication. There have been many great posts summarizing the meeting, or specific sessions, or extending conversations started at the meeting, some of these ScienceOnline2012 posts are listed here. I’ve decided to add my voice as a set of thank yous, organized [...]
Last week I attended a terrific workshop. It was a media awareness session designed to help young scientists understand the media and possible interactions they may have with the media over the course of their careers. I’m going to do a couple of long posts on our Personal Genomics blog (because they are less about [...]

You can find out about all sorts of events from the International Darwin Day Foundation. There are also links to multi-media resources of all sorts and all levels over there. Have some fun [...]
The folks at ASBMB Today (The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) have highlighted our blog as a tip for their readers. Sweet! Thanks to Aditi Das for the notice. Check us out (and it has our photos–giggle): http://www.asbmb.org/asbmbtoday/asbmbtoday_article.aspx?id=15925
If you had a healthy, safe, and nourishing childhood, you probably remember this fondly for many reasons. But among the most basic of reasons is that it was simple. Answers were easy: food comes from mom, the house is just there, and friends were all doing the same thing as you were–school, play, homework. It [...]
We’ve all seen the discussions – on twitter, in journals, lots of places – on how to collect, store, find and use all the data that is and will be generated. Here at OpenHelix we believe that there is a gold mine of bioscience data that is being vastly underutilized, and our goal is to [...]
