The main reason; the ability to embed videos, the second; putting it under the bioscreencast.com domain. The additional flexibility is always a plus. If you were subscribed to the blog feed via feedburner, you should be in good shape, otherwise, feel free to grab the feed. All older blog posts have been moved to the new blog, and there is a new post on a video by Michael Pascoe on equation editors. More to come.

The computational challenges of neuroscience are, surprise surprise, rather intriguing. After all, our brain is in many ways the ultimate computer, and we are always trying to figure out how it works and how to replicate intelligence artificially. Through Frank Gibson’s screencasts on Bioscreencast, I found out about the CARMEN, a neuroinformatics project that aims to “create an e-science infrastructure in which data on neuronal activity (electrical and optical measures) can be shared, stored, manipulated and modelled”. Neuroinformatics is data intensive and is fed by heteregenous data types. Unfortunately a lot of the data is confined to a single lab, i.e. th... business|bytes|genes|molecules blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1022228 Tue, 13 Nov 2007 04:54:38 +0100 1022228 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1019128&cid=t_128141_132_f&fid=35011&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2Fmndoci%2F%7E3%2F182998172%2F I use Google Calendar extensively. Among the various calendars I subscribe to is one of science events in Second Life As you can see there is a ton of good stuff going on. Unfortunately, the best events, like the various Second Nature Lecture Series and the Scifoo Lives On events are usually at times when I can’t make it. Anyway, the point of this post is that the one time I did make it to one of those events, I gave a talk on Bioscreencast. There, Bronwen got interested in screencasting and this week she uploaded a couple of screencasts. I think those who might have an image of Second Life as a place for weird furry creatures and adult activities, should take a look at it again, as a place where science can move forward as well.

That wee little website, Bioscreencast.com just hit an important milestone. Earlier today, Bronwen Dekker, Assistant Editor at Nature Protocols uploaded what turned out to be screencasts number 99 and 100. Bronwen’s screencasts are another excellent example of the power of screencasting In the first screencast, Bronwen shows you how to prepare tables that meet the requirements for journals like Nature Protocols, and in the second she shows you how to resize images. Both are practical examples. They also show how publishers can interact with people to highlight some best practices.

Today, Michael Pascoe uploaded a screencast that, for me, personifies that vision. In the screencast below, Michael demonstrates how he uses Illiad and Papers to pursue a paperless PhD (If you have a Mac and $42 you HAVE to get this). The screencast is short, it’s simple, and it makes you want to go and get Papers. Perfect!!!

In his case solving them, and in my case either predicting them or using them as a basis for other studies. So it makes me rather happy to see screencasts related to protein structure up at Bioscreencast.

Thanks to the screencast I became a much more efficient querier of the PDB,  especially after they adopted the new ( now almost three years old) interface. I strongly believe that screencasting can play a role in helping us all search better. Since I work on crystallizing  membrane proteins , I found the MPDB very useful and decided to screencast its  features. I sincerely hope that  database creators, and users alike, take to this effective medium and screencast their tips and tricks for us all to benefit from. .

It turns out that some of this years SciFoo alumni led by the indomitable Jean Claude Bradley (JCB or Horace Moody ) started the “metaverse” version of these sessions on the Nature Island on Second Life called Second Nature. In keeping with the “non conference” format of the original, session themes at SciFoo Lives On are decided on by the attendants , in this case on the wiki that serves as its permanent home outside of Second Life.

Equally important, it gives you a link to fulfill a request if it falls into your particular area of interest. Three screencast requests that jump out at me A screencast on mathematical modeling of molecular pathways One on Vector NTI (our #1 requested screencast) One on molecular dynamics simulations I am pretty sure there are people out there with expertise in all these areas (I still want to do one analysis of MD trajectories, but I am so rusty, plus I don’t really have the data).
