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 …

One of the little …

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 …

Many things are done out of order, yesterday proved that to me. perhaps one would normally have an idea – develop a business plan, develop product and then develop user guide..not us, lets scramble it a bit… Yesterday was an all out ODDT day (pronounced oddity)..First up there was the business plan. 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 …
