GnuBio is a new Harvard University spinout that is poised to become an "eBay of Biomarkers,"

DZero collaborators perform the data analysis for the experiment using a variety of computational resources, including Open Science Grid and EGEE. "Computing resources are playing a very important role in particle physics with many exciting results, including di-muon charge asymmetry, obtained with heavy use of grid," Denisov said.

According to Christina Pikas, a doctoral student at the University of Maryland College of Information Studies who performed a cluster analysis on science blogs, communities generally form within scientific disciplines.

Following last week's release of Ithaka S+R's Faculty Survey 2009 (http://bit.ly/aJP4pl), we are pleased to announce a series of webinars that will explore each of the major themes of this survey in depth. Each webinar will focus on an individual chapter of the full report, providing the opportunity for a targeted discussion of the findings of our study and their implications for libraries, publishers, and scholarly societies.

Example of an "Article of the Future" (project sponsored by Elsevier). How is it different (or similar) to the PLoS format?

Future of mobile monitoring of research?

The OSG/CMU Scientific Software Ecosystem Workshop was held February 16 & 17, 2010 in Los Angeles, supported by the National Science Foundation through grant #0943168. It was an invitation workshop on scientific software development ecosystems, organized by the SciSoft research team at CMU (Jim Herbsleb and James Howison) and the Open Science Grid, hosted by LIGO at CalTech (special thanks to Kent Blackburn). The purpose of the workshop was to learn from each other in order to improve how we produce, share and sustain scientific software in our various fields and to develop positions regarding possible scientific research funding agency policies on software practices.
