Viruses: Gene Banks of the Ocean?
Viruses have a pretty bad reputation. Perhaps this is not too surprising, considering they are the cause of many of the most deadly and treatment-resistant diseases that plague humanity. But “tiny harbingers of doom” may not be the only role for these minuscule entities. A recent review,...
Robot Learns to Smile and Frown
A hyper-realistic Einstein robot at the University of California, San Diego has learned to smile and make facial expressions through a process of self-guided learning. The UC San Diego researchers used machine learning to “empower” their robot to learn to make realistic facial expressions.The...

MySDScience Discussions
Discuss your science here! All members are automatically added to this group when they sign up, so here's where you can find the largest audience for anything you might want to talk about.


Please, no spam or solicitations. Just civil discussion about anything that's on your mind! :-)

Science Cafe
Science cafes bring together professional scientists and science enthusiasts in informal settings like coffee houses and pubs to discuss current science topics. Science cafes are meant to draw a diverse audience, and the intent is to encourage a lively exchange of ideas among all participants, not for an audience to listen to a stuffy lecture. If you are interested helping start a San Diego chapter of Science Cafe, this is the group for you!
The Bioinformatics Help Group
The nature of the internet and computers is such that anybody can post and create whatever they want. This creates a situation were we are hit with a plethora of data whenever we try to learn something new. As a non-programer it has taken me some time to learn Bioinformatics software and decide which programs are the best for any situation. This group can hopefully create a forum where we can all share our knowledge of Bioinformatics such that the learning curve is less steep. Feel free to post and introduce any topic of interest to Bioinformatics, including programing topics! Possible topics of interest may include (but are not limited to):

- Homolog prediction using BLAST, PSI-BLAST, or HMM methods
- Microarray design, normalization, and analysis
- High throughput sequencing applications (ChIP-seq, RNA-seq) and output analysis
- Phylogenetic tree construction
- Use of command line in a Mac OS or Linux environment
- Construction of useful scripts
- Mining SQL type databases for useful information
- Anything else of related interest...!
