Interpreting the whiteboards of an old GSK building

In my previous blog I described a visit to a former GSK building and included many images of the building. In addition I showed several photos of what appeared to be informatics related whiteboards. After time to reflect, analyze and digest them I have posted the slides on slideshare and figshare. It appears they include details on preclinical …

Fraud detection, Kullback–Leibler divergence, Movies, ship design and other good stuff at the Discovery Summit

Well hopefully that title grabbed your attention and you did not mistake it for an episode of the Big Bang Theory.. I have been attending the Discovery Summit 2012 at SAS in Cary NC for the last day and a half. All because I occasionally use one of their products, JMP for statistical analysis and …

At the beginning of the year I was seriously grappling with information overload on rare and neglected diseases. Half way through the year here I am using ODDT to capture the information that is just “out there” waiting to be scooped up. Admittedly it is probably a tiny fraction of what there is but I …

Well today it happened.. Open Drug Discovery Teams got some coverage by someone else besides us! I was interviewed recently by Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News and today the article appeared. I have to admit its nice to see someone else write about the app. One suggestion from the article is that we connect with …

Last year I …

Should I just give all my ideas away? The perils of collaboration and why I want to be open pt I.

I was reminded of a comment at Science Online 2012 when someone (and I apologize I could not get their name – please let me know if you read this)  mentioned that it would be great if there was somewhere they could put all their ideas online and just share them. Some people have far …
