So National Review didn't create this graph and is reusing it from a blog site. The author of the NR article finds nothing misleading about this graph. https://twitter.com/iptuttle/status/676542056622354432

The idea is to focus more on the science and less on where it is published, in assessing the quality of the work. Everyone agrees that judging researchers by the journal (impact factor) where they publish is terrible. But this specific prop

No Paddy, I did not "misunderstand" during the Skype call. That e-mail was just my polite way of telling you to go away. Here is a less polite but more direct response: http://anothersb.blogspot.com/2015/04&#x

Startups are hard. Very very hard. Every step. Every day. Rewarding but hard. Building, funding, traction, revenue - each one more impossible to attain than the previous. Burnout of the founder is the norm. Hence my anger at the parasites w

The changes, via a good user interface, will be visualized on step level. Very true that the UI is key here. But trust us - there will not be thousands of variants of a single protocol. There will be thousands of annotations, easily found f

There are many ex-companies that tried to push for an electronic lab notebook (ELN). There are several other ELN companies today that seem to have gotten nowhere. That's due to a panel of reasons, most important of which - they are com

Indeed, the effort to create a central protocol repository is at least 20 years old. No one succeeded. The key part here is the crowdsourcing. Won't happen without a crowd. And won't happen unless a busy geneticist can share with
