The future of simulation
Shirley picks up on a topic near and dear to my heart, physics-based simulation, specifically a couple of questions
What are high impact biomedical arenas that offer exciting challenges for physics-based simulation?
What are new areas of computational research in physics-based simulation that will have a major impact on biology?
The way I see it, our computational platforms [...]

Sun and Amazon jump into the pool together
At JavaOne, one of the big announcements was a hookup between Amazon, specifically EC2, and OpenSolaris (finally generally released as a full open source OS). The collaboration between Amazon and OpenSolaris will give customers access to OpenSolaris (for feree) and MySQL premium technical support, and more. The key selling points are ZFS and [...]

And I am very skeptical
Via TechCrunch
Orbo produces free, clean and constant energy – that is our claim. By free we mean that the energy produced is done so without recourse to external source. By clean we mean that during operation the technology produces no emissions. By constant we mean that with the exception of mechanical [...]

Answering some mathematical questions
Keith Robison started this and Sandra answers the following questions
1. Are you a biologist, if so what kind?
2. What math did you take in college?
3. What math do you use?
4. What math do you wish you’d studied?
5. How [...]
