About Bertalan Meskó

I'm a Hungarian medical student with an English medical blog (Scienceroll ) on genetic testing, newborn screening, genetics and pop-medicine. ... Full Bio

This presentation is the result of 4 months of work. I know it’s never going to be perfect, but consider it as a first step on the way towards medicine 2.0. On Tuesday, I presented this work to the professors at the Department of Human Genetics of Debrecen. And I thought I should make it public in English. I can’t be grateful enough to Ves Dimov and Bob Coffield, their presentations helped me a lot.

Kind of related, I recently interviewed quantum chemist Steve Bachrach about how chemists might exploit so-called Web 2.0 stuff. You can read the interview on www.reactivereports.com the chemistry webzine

"This is really an issue of culture," he told me, "My personal hesitancy to adopt Web 2.0 technologies is that I don't have the time to read random thoughts by random individuals. I barely have time to keep up with the old-school (i.e., traditional journals) literature in my field. The blogosphere just seemed to me to be filled with the rantings of people who have nothing better to do with their time. Peter Murray-Rust's blog was the first to demonstrate to me that real chemistry content could be had, that interesting and novel ideas could be found and shared and discussed."

Hi David,

Jean-Claude Bradley has written a few articles on web 2.0 and chemistry.

Molecules on Second Life

Second Life at the ACS and Chemistry Quizzes

We call this site "the marriage of web 2.0 and science 2.0" because we're also big believers.

JC also did an article on how blogs are on their way to also being primary information sources for science: Scooped by a blog.

yes, there is certainly a lot going on. I try to cover at least some of these happenings on sciencebase.com such as the new OA portal from BMC launched this week (albeit Mathematics and Physics)
