The ChemCollective

The Chemistry Collective is a collection of virtual labs, scenario-based learning activities, and concepts tests which can be incorporated into a variety of teaching approaches as pre-labs, alternatives to textbook homework, and in-class activities for individuals or teams. It is organized by a group of faculty and staff at Carnegie Mellon University for college and high school teachers who are interested in using, assessing, and/or creating engaging online activities for chemistry education.

The Control Fallacy: Why OA Out-Innovates the Alternative : Nature Precedings

This article examines the relationship between Open Access to the scholarly literature and innovation. It traces the ideas of “end to end” network principles in the Internet and the World Wide Web and applies them to the scholarly biomedical literature. And the article argues for the importance of relieving not just price barriers but permission barriers.

Open Knowledge Foundation Blog » Blog Archive » Open Data: Openness and Licensing

Why bother about openness and licensing for data? After all they don’t matter in themselves: what we really care about are things like the progress of human knowledge or the freedom to understand and share.

Main Page - OpenResearch.org

This semantic wiki at OpenResearch.org aims at making the world of science more visible and accessible. Everybody can add his favorite events (e.g. conferences and workshops), co-workers, tools / datasets, community fora or journals. Pooled together these pieces of information constitute a vast knowledge base about who and what moves science forward.

Cheminformatics Benchmark Toolkit --------------------------------- Why? Because we want to: 1. measure if a patch improves performance 2. compare cheminformatics toolkits Project ------- This is an open project, and anyone can contribute or patch the tests, in order to attempt to create a balanced and fair test suite impartial to the toolkit being tested. Versioning ---------- When reporting results for a toolkit for a test, always report the version of ChemInfBenchmark release, as well as the test number as listed below. The tests --------- Toolkits should always to the bare minimum; any extra things will only make the outcome unfavourable, but toolkits may do that if they wish. 1. Convert an SD file to XYZ 2. Calculate the molecular mass of the entries in an SD file 3. Convert an SD file to CML 2.5 4. Perform a substructure match on all of the entries in an SD file 5. Parse a collection of SMILES - this will be a measure of performance and completeness 6. Detect rings in a collection of molecules. 7. Parse (not perform the search) for a collection of SMARTS patterns - this will be a measure of performance and completeness Running tests ------------- Each test is run via a configure file. A test can be run by $ ant -Dconfig=test-config.xml run

Portal:Gene Wiki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Welcome to the Gene Wiki portal. This portal is dedicated to the goal of applying community intelligence to the annotation of gene and protein function. The Gene Wiki is an informal collection of pages on human genes and proteins, and this effort to develop these pages is tightly coordinated with the Molecular and Cellular Biology Wikiproject. Our specific aims are summarized as follows:

* To provide a well written and informative Wikipedia article for every notable human gene
* To invite participation by interested lay editors, students, professionals, and academics from around the world
* To integrate Gene Wiki articles with existing Wikipedia content through the use of internal wiki links increasing the value of both

Please browse around the Gene Wiki, make an edit to your favorite gene page, and feel free to ask questions!

AAAS - Science and Human Rights Program

The AAAS Science and Human Rights Coalition is a network of scientific organizations that recognizes a role for science and scientists in efforts to realize human rights. Composed of scientific associations, societies and academies, as well as individual scientists, the Coalition aims to facilitate communication and partnerships on human rights within and across scientific communities, and between these and human rights communities. The Coalition’s programs are being carried out by the following five working groups:

1. Welfare of Scientists
2. Science Ethics and Human Rights
3. Service to the Scientific Community
4. Service to the Human Rights Community
5. Education and Information Resources


The Coalition is also pursuing a joint initiative to realize the human right to “the benefits of scientific progress” (Article 15, International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights).
