The team should learn from the ghost-town that is BioTorrents[1] and offer more than just a tracker. [1] http://www.biotorrents.net/browse.php?incldead=1

The author seems to be putting quite a bit of time into making these by hand. I wonder if it's possible to auto-generate these diagram/infographics for arbitrary food items and ingredient lists using nutritiondata.com and chemical

Let's assume we live in the ideal world where source code, raw data, analysis pipelines, and processed data are accessible with a paper. In practice, do you think that graduate students and professors will have time to review this info

To add to the market saturation, botnet operators are very interested in monetizing their network now that Bitcoin is getting harder to mine. I never followed through, but I had no problem convincing an open-minded hacker to let me use idle

I'm not sure about "code as art" but Bernar Venet uses a lot of mathematics in his works. http://nicolaanthony.wordpress.com/2012/11/18/a-perfect-synt... He even framed an astrophysics paper o

A researcher in my field did this (not 52 weeks unfortunately). He basically made his blog into a giant review article [1]. He was a celebrity at the biophysical society conference last year because of all the students that discovered his b

I'm biased since I do simulations but you're being too harsh on force fields. All the proteins in the paper I mentioned had their structure correctly predicted starting from an extended state. Correct structure and folding time! T

You should check out Lane et al. 2013 Fig. 1: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0959440X12... All computational protein folding times match experimental results within 1 order of magnitude. If

I know a thing or two about the field. Custom hardware for molecular dynamics allows one to simulate longer timescale biological processes, namely the folding of larger proteins. More generally, in the study of any size protein, countless m

Is Fortran actually the best choice for this application? I don't know how heavy the calculations are for sports analytics, but I'm guessing it's less advanced than scientific simulations. Who cares how numerically efficient

Interestingly, custom-made ASICs[1] to perform Folding@Home calculations have also been developed that perform at unprecedented speeds. Of course, there isn't any reason someone outside of academia would be compelled to buy one. [1] h

Evernote is just a word processor front-end to cloud storage. The use cases are pretty limitless. I'm not really sure what you mean by "too many features". I use Evernote to store text, code, and figures related my scientific research and t

Data-driven visualizations like these seem well-suited for data exploration, but the suggestion that scientists lives will change for the better from them seems like a stretch. I'm not just talking about constructing original visualizations

I think you're referring to the prediction of "secondary structure" of proteins, which was attempted using neural network models as early as 1989. [1] Predicting secondary structure is child's play compared to predicting the folded tertiary
