I’ve given numerous presentations to pharma companies about how to embrace social media and it’s always a hard job. So when I see some kind of a strategy behind how the pharma sector should use web 2.0 properly, I’m glad because it means there is light in the tunnel. First here is John Pugh [...]

Life in a glass sphere: Ecosphere
I’ve recently come across Ecosphere which is a really creative idea for those who would like to see something different from an aquarium or a terrarium on their desks.
Inside each EcoSphere are active micro-organisms, bright red shrimp and algae, each existing in filtered sea water. Because the EcoSphere is a self-sustaining ecosystem, you never have [...]

The Future of Health Care Is Social
Health care is a personal issue that has become wholly public–as the national debate over reforming our system makes painfully clear. But what’s often lost in the gun-toting Town Hall debates about the issue is a clear vision about how medicine could work in the future. In this feature [...]

Personalized Genetics in the News: 3D Structure and Bar Code Reader
Scientists Decipher The 3-D Structure Of The Human Genome
The researchers report two striking findings. First, the human genome is organized into two separate compartments, keeping active genes separate and accessible while sequestering unused DNA in a denser storage compartment.
Second, at a finer scale, the genome adopts an unusual organization known in mathematics as a “fractal.” [...]
