I’ve only just discovered the Fixing Proteomics Campaign, thanks to a post on FriendFeed. It’s an initiative that I probably should have known about before, since it appears to originate, at least partly, from Nonlinear Dynamics, a Newcastle based proteomics informatics company. The campaign is also dedicated [...]
This post forms part of the ‘Blog for Darwin’ blog carnival.
I wasn’t going to write this post. I am very much of the opinion that holding up one man as a figurehead for an entire science is a mistake, and sets up too many straw-man arguments for detractors to propound (of the [...]
