EquityEdit is an interesting organization. They edit and translate biomedical manuscripts and the compensation funds small, innovating, global health organizations (with a focus on the developing world, e.g. Nyaya Health). Don’t know too much about them, but the financial model is definitely interesting.

Events

BioBarCamp or ScienceBarCamp, regardless, there is a strong chance that prior to SciFoo 2008 we will be hosting a gathering of science geeks in the Bay Area

Self Assembly

Not much really. Had fun at Bio-IT World, which is the perfect conference for me, a place where I can combine work with subjects (and hardware) that really get me excited. Someday, Bio-IT World will be a mix of the current Bio-IT, Web 2.0 Expo and Gnomedex; a gathering of minds and industry folk.

I do have my macbook pro now and wishing I hadn’t taken the bad Windows/Dell detour late last year.
