With apologies to Jonathan Swift:
“Great sites have little sites upon their back to bite ’em
And little sites have lesser sites, and so ad infinitum…”
So what happened was, Carole Goble asked on the myExperiment mailing list, “is there a list of scientist social networking sites”? Here is first attempt at such a list (not comprehensive), you’ll have to decide for yourself which are the great, greater, little and lesser sites.

Back in 2003 The Human Genome cost approximately $500 million, years of work and huge international effort to produce. How much does a genome cost now, and what might it cost in the future? (more…)

Bio::Blogs is a monthly bioinformatic-related blog journal. This issue, number 19, is hosted here at O’Really? and focuses on the the fascinating relationship between Biology and Engineering. Below, for your reading pleasure, is a brief roundup of blog posts during February-ish 2008, and a few other related Bioengineering resources.
I’ve often wondered how all the ridiculous fluffy Web 2.0 marketing hype (see Tim O’Reilly’s principles of Web 2.0) maps into the world of Science. In a talk yesterday, Dave DeRoure argued there is a massive gap between scientists and infrastructure on the Web of Science, most people would agree with this.
