New IOM Software Tool Helps Users Prioritize Vaccine Development
As diseases emerge and infections re-emerge, new and improved vaccines are needed. The decisions about which vaccines should be developed first can affect millions of people's health, quality of life, and economic progress. A new early-stage prototype software tool created by the Institute of Medicine -- the Strategic Multi-Attribute Ranking Tool (SMART) Vaccines 1.0 -- allows those involved in vaccine formation and delivery to prioritize the vaccines most urgently needed in the United States and other countries. The free software, its corresponding report, Ranking Vaccines: A Prioritization Software Tool, and a video tuto...

Integrating Fluorescent Biosensor Data Using Computational Models
This book chapter provides a tutorial on how to construct computational models of signaling networks for the integration and interpretation of FRET-based biosensor data. A model of cAMP production and PKA activation is presented to provide an example of the model building process. The computational model is defined using hypothesized signaling network structure and measured kinetic parameters and then simulated in Virtual Cell software. Experimental acquisition and processing of FRET biosensor data is discussed in the context of model validation. This data is then used to fit parameters of the computational model such that...

Authors, Have You Created Your ORCID iD?
It’s not just the Smiths and Johnsons who are facing challenges distinguishing their research activities from those of others with similar names. The Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) is an emerging international standard for unique identification throughout the scholarly communication process. It’s the project of a non-profit, community based organization with a board of directors and membership representing a broad range of stakeholders–researchers, publishers, and funders. Many journal publishers are already asking authors to include their ORCID iDs when submitting manuscripts and PubMed has begun incl...

The Sports Gene: why the '10,000 hour rule' doesn't always make winners
The '10,000 hour rule' now dictates the way many athletes are trained. But practice makes little difference, says David Epstein in an extract from his new book, without the 'trainability' geneIt started with musicians. In 1993, three psychologists turned to the Music Academy of West Berlin, which had a global reputation for producing world-class violinists. The academy helped the psychologists identify 10 of the "best" violin students, those who could become international soloists; 10 students who were "good" and could make a living in a symphony orchestra; and 10 lesser students they categorised as "music teache...
