Gamers are better at identifying certain patterns than computer algorithms, so why not use them to pick out breast cancer-related gene profiles?

How we can best provide state-of-the-art proteomics technology to the biomedical community.

How we go about the systematic study of the unique chemical fingerprints that specific cellular processes leave behind – and what we can learn from them.

In the face of increasing competition, standing out from the crowd requires more than good science. We must embrace self-marketing.

Common data file formats are readily available for mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) data. Now, the community must agree on an extensible cross-platform software solution that everyone can use.

Could online activity assessments of academic papers be a viable alternative to impact factor or h-index?

Main engines: check. Communications: check. Solar power: check. GC-MS system on board: check.

Sponsor companies proudly present their impressive contributions to the analytical science community.

Accurate measurement is the very essence of science; better measurement technologies are the fuel of progress. Here, we recognize a year’s worth of innovation in The Analytical Scientist Innovation Awards (TASIAs) 2013.

Open-source scientific hardware is a reality. It gives researchers more freedom to experiment with design and can open new doors in research. What’s stopping you?
