Even if you don’t find yourself reading biomedical research on a frequent basis, you should expose yourself to PubMed just to see how much care went into its development. Seriously, PubMed is one of my favorite websites for its simplicity, speed and incredible usability. It has a querying system for hundreds of thousands of articles that makes sense, it saves these queries and allows you to edit them. It allows you to save articles to lists and makes them portable. While it may be easy to just think of this as just another clever website redesign, I can tell you from personal experience that these increases in usability have a non-zero impact on research productivity. And since it’s PubMed, there’s a lot of important research at stake.
