Anyone at ISMB have a ticket to the Vasa dinner that they won't be using? My wife decided she might like to go (despite having to hang out with a bunch of scientists... ;) )

"This Memorial Day I would like to share with you a personal project of mine that uses Google Earth to honor the more than 5,700 American and Coalition servicemen and women that have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. I have created a map for Google Earth that will connect you with each of their stories—you can see photos, learn about how they died, visit memorial websites with comments from friends and families, and explore the places they called home and where they died."

migrating from endnote / pdf folder to mendeley today...

Pierre gives everything ago. Always looking for the next thing to hack :)

Do you notice any trends to the ones it didn't get? I've found it does much better with newer papers.
- Mr. Gunn
@Mr. Gunn, only done a few so far, but science magazine is clearly a problem since they continuously flow from one article to another. so page 1 contains the references from the previous articles. I'll try to look for other trends too. So far, it hasn't been too difficult to google the title, copy-and-paste the pmid, and then hit "lookup"...
- Andrew Su
PNAS seems to be a difficult journal too... and letters to the editor
- Andrew Su
yeah, but with PNAS you have a DOI so you can easily populate the info from that
- Mr. Gunn
mendeley bookmarklet is fantastic... word plugin also fixed in the latest release (word 2007, vista 64). Nice...
- Andrew Su
I'm glad it's working well for you. Can I ask a favor? Would you be able to forward the details about my Social Media for Scientists workshop to the SDBDG? The info is here, and there's a PDF flyer as well.
- Mr. Gunn
to SDCSB, you mean? I'm not sure we have an active mailing list, but I can check. Maybe we can post it on the events section of sdcsb.org. can you send the link again (didn't show for me in your comment...)
- Andrew Su
Whoops, yes, that's what I meant. Acronym soup doesn't taste so good. Yes, I would appreciate that. The link is http://sdbn.org/may

Well, I was _hoping_ (and a bit expecting) that many would have written such a review already. But if there's a real lack of a review in this area, then I'd think about it. I'm going to be doing some literature searching today (aided by others' suggestions?) so I should have a better feeling soon...

Maybe? Goble, C. and Stevens, R. 2008. State of the nation in data integration for bioinformatics. J. of Biomedical Informatics 41, 5 (Oct. 2008), 687-693. DOI= http://dx.doi.org/10...

@carolh, perfect, that issue is great... I'd already printed out three of them, but had yet to put it together that it was a special issue... (doh!) thanks much...

"SfN is calling upon members to harness the power of Wikipedia and support the Society's mission of promoting public education about neuroscience."
- Andrew Su
"71.03% of respondents supported some form of hyperlinks from open access publications to Wikipedia, and 91.51% supported links from Wikipedia to open access publications. 67.93% of respondents indicated support for large scale efforts to invite scientists to become Wikipedia contributors, and 24.73% indicated support for limited experiments. 81.82% responded they would participate in such an effort to improve Wikipedia, with roughly half of the respondents indicating they would only do so as part of their professional work."
