Welcome to our Friday feature link collection: SNPpets. During the week we come across a lot of links and reads that we think are interesting, but don’t make it to a blog post. Here they are for your enjoyment…
- NIH is requesting comments on this question: “How Do You Think We Should Manage Science in Fiscally Challenging Times?” Plus there is a link in the post to slides with the data that they’ve gathered thus far. The blog post and comments are worth a read & reply, either by commenting or emailing them. [Jennifer]
