We just wanted to update you with some good news from the Journal of Cheminformatics. The Thomson / ISI 2011 Journal Impact Factors were just released, and the Journal of Cheminformatics received an Impact Factor of 3.42 – the first year we have been given an impact factor. This is very high for a new [...]

If the pompous title caught your attention, and you are ashamed of that: Don’t worry. It is all true. My cheminformatics and metabolism group at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) is looking for a phd student this year and all you need to do is apply through the regular route. The range of possible topics [...]

The Singularity is near … (still)
April 8th, 2009 · No Comments · Fun, Hot Science, Life of Chris, People, Scientific Culture
My favorite thinkers over at the Singularity Hub have posted the quarterly summary of their best news stories. Go check it out. For those of you not knowing what this is about: Read the book “The singularity is near” by Ray Kurzweil. Compelling stuff.

The Trouble with Physics
July 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Hot Science, Life of Chris, Open Science, People, Scientific Culture, Teaching
I do not normally recommend books that I read to a wider public. Partly because I’m disappointed if someone dislikes a book that I loved, partly because I do not think that my taste is of interest to anyone, partly because 90% of my reading was written by Terry Pratchett. In addition, when it comes [...]

Back after an afternoon of heavy hiking to Castle Boymont uphill from Schloss Korb. Great stuff. Day 3, Morning Session on Macromolecular Interactions: P-P, P-NA, NA-Light Sara Linse of Lund report on her group’s work on Protein Interactions, Association and Fibrillation. Systems Chemistry is the study of molecules acting collectively, she proposes. Her focus of [...]
