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.

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.

Journal Journal: Proposal for Open Microscopy Initiative

My research utilizes custom-written software for automated time-lapse microscopy. It is a very specialized system designed specifically for Leica microscopes through the serial port interface. I have learned recently that the new generation upright series (DM6000) has removed the serial port interface, opting instead for a specialized USB port and protocol. There is a "virtual driver" that should be able to convert serial commands to the USB protocol, but I do not see that as a long-term solutio
