Yet another blog post about the possible future of publishing (this time by +Joseph Pickrell), its implications and the ongoing move of pre-print to arXiv in biology.

The first steps towards a modern system of scientific publication « Genomes Unzipped
About a year ago on this site, I discussed a model for addressing some of the major problems in scientific publishing. The main idea was simple: replace the current system of pre-publication peer revi…

Super Science Circle – August 2012 Edition

It's time again for the latest edition of my Super Science Circle. If your stream is stale, import this shared circle and never want for knowledge again. And if anyone ever tells you Google+ is a ghost town, point them at this circle and demand they import it.

Please reshare this list, to help it spread wide and far. Do it! For Science!

If you're interested in my criteria, the circle contains:

1. People active on Google+
2. People who often post about science.

I highly recommend that you import these people into a test circle and then evaluate them over the next month. Move over the people who really delight you to a more permanent circle. Then replace the test circle next month, when I share it again.

If you know anyone who should be included in this list, please let me know.

About me

I am a Lead Data Scientist at Microsoft in the World-Wide Data Insights CTO office focusing on cloud solutions for the Internet-of-Things, Big Data, Deep Learning, and Machine Learning. I obtained my PhD at the University of Cambridge specialising in Big Data Biology while being based at the European Bioinformatics Institute (EBI) and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL).

In my previous "academic life", I was working in Ewan Birney's research group. My main subject was understanding non-coding variation using genome-wide molecular assays, like FAIRE and CTCF, onto Human cell line populations. Another research interest was identification of whole-body phenotypes in Human MRI scans using Machine Learning techniques.

Furthermore, I'm the co-founder of Rijschoolvergelijker. The largest driving school comparison website in the Netherlands with European ambitions.
