is the journal of molecular cell biology a 'good' journal?
hang on, no, I looked at their website, all is suddenly clear to me!
- Katherine Haxton
Can't be any good - doesn't have an impact factor. :-)
- Bob O'Hara
It doesn't even have a first edition yet :) I was ripping apart a paper in it (journal club style) trying to get to the bottom of a BBC science story about nanoparticles and lung disease.

interested to know what the main reason for shifting is? Just a wish to have more personal control or something deeper than that?
- Cameron Neylon
mainly more personal control, but many of the discussions over last weekend helped 'crystallize' some aspects of blogging within a community in my head. I can't do what I want to do with blogging/online 'stuff' over on NN.
- Katherine Haxton
fair enough kind of what I thought. Interesting how many people are starting to wish for or demand (depending on skill levels) more functionality for their online selves

loves the updated version of Mendeley. It works beautifully.
now, if only all journals would use a DOI...oh wait...I'm a chemist, so PMID took a while to figure out...

Any UK academics have any ideas why we can't send to yahoo or btinternet email addresses from anything on the JANET network?
mmm I don't seem to have a problem with this - at least to yahoo groups addresses.

Lord Drayson's article in Guardian on science policy in UK. Another attempt to wrangle with pure vs applied science.
- Katherine Haxton
And one of the more vicious comment streams I've seen in a while. Anyone might think the British are disenchanted with their politicians...
- Cameron Neylon
What ever would give you that impression? :-)
- Katherine Haxton
Actually I thought it a good response to Monbiot's rather wayward article (which also generated a slew of ill-informed comment). Didn't read most of the comments on Drayson's piece - the first few were simply motivated by political enmity.
- Stephen Curry
I'm just tired of arguing over pure vs applied research. Both equally valid and equally important, both need supported but in different ways. I didn't go much into the comments either.

Does anyone know of any good blogs/social networking type resources for analytical science? Giving a talk at an analytical chemistry conference next week about science blogging and similar and want to tailor it a bit.

But I can't think of anything helpful right off the top of my head. Relatively little hardcore analytical stuff that I am aware of
- Cameron Neylon
I found a couple of general blogs, but I'll keep looking. Cheers!

Does anyone have any experience of sci-mate? - http://www.sci-mate.org/
Not really - I think I poked around at one point and it didn't look so different to a lot of other social networky type things. It's got a little more thought put into what a particular object is for than most which is a little more sophisticated than many of these things but I don't see much evidence that there is a big community there.

I had a look this morning - looked nice but not many folks there. Don't want to learn a new site for no reason.
