Thoughts and comments about The American Naturalist,. The journal of the American Society of Naturalists. Changing Landscape of Science Publishing. I was asked to provide some background for a class on Ethics in the Darwinian Sciences on the topic of the Changing Landscape of Science Publishing.

Welcome to the Fraser Lab! We are part of the Department of Bioengineering and Therapeutic Sciences. Research in the lab is focused on discovering the fundamental principles of macromolecular structure and dynamics. We are interested in defining conformational states that are essential for function and understanding how conformational transitions couple to biological mechanisms.

R bodies are natural toxin delivery machines made by bacteria that live inside of single-celled eukaryotes. Here we show the R body extension process is reversible over many cycles and that R bodies are capable of releasing. Cell contents into the environment. Furthermore, we demonstrate that R bodies can be tuned with mutagenesis to function in specific applications.

Humans recognize objects with greater robustness to noise and distortions than deep nets. Deep convolutional neural networks can label images with object categories at superhuman levels of accuracy. Whether they are as robust to noise and distortions as human vision, however, is an open question.

The deadline is past for companies in the UK employing more than 250 employees to report their gender pay gap. And there is also an account of all the Oxford Colleges data here.

Thoughts about technology, government 2. 0, open data, collaboration, libraries and scientific publishing. Rapid access to scientific results including Gates Foundation open access journal. The Gates Foundation will be launching its own open access journal,. A platform for rapid author-led publication and open peer review of research. The Gates Foundation joins the Wellcome Trust in launching this approach, and they are both using the same underlying platform, F1000.

Creative solutions to sustain biomedical research. This website is designed to collect and organize input for solutions to problems such as those addressed in the April 2014 PNAS article entitled. Rescuing US biomedical research from its systemic flaws. Whose major points are briefly outlined here.
