Comment What to do for mobile? (Score 1) 122

So, I've been using LabMeeting and BibDesk on my Macs. But since I've got a Droid now, I'm still trying to figure out the best way to read all my papers on that device, and probably an iPad when it comes out. Since Flash is not supported, LabMeeting won't work. Obviously, BibDesk is not supported right now. In fact, I'm guessing most of the sites/programs mentioned in this discussion won't work. So? The only solution I can think of so far to store all my PDF's "in the cloud" is Google Docs or Dropbox. Dropbox might be the winner here, especially since you can get the revision history service. It's not free, but it's cheap enough to be worth it.

Comment Orgo is a prereq for Biochemistry (Score 1) 567

I haven't seen one post refer to the fact that a prerequisite for Biochemistry is Organic Chemistry. If Biochemistry is not a med school requirement, it should be - and therefore, so should Orgo. Med students get about 5 minutes of biochem in 1st year classes, usually in a class like Human Physiology. Biochemistry is the foundation for all of medicine. I wouldn't argue with folks who say it is not absolutely necessary to take Orgo to "do well" in Biochem. I agree - you can get by without Orgo. However, students who take Orgo generally have a much better grasp of biochemistry.
