I'm using it and trying to setup our journal club through it. Nice tool.


That's Toronto on the second item.


Looks good. The only thing difficult in the bio/med community is actually gather some audience. Let's hope to get something, it would be a good resource.


I'm also in the Great White North, Kingston, ON to be more exact.


Also from Canada, but moving to Chicago. So I am a North American; literal on two counts.


Why not get some options at http://graffletopia.com/


Wow, thanks! Didn't know about that


It seems that this is the one: http://www.pnas.org/content/early/2010/03/11/0910200107.abst...

10.1073/pnas.0910200107

but I'm not completely sure.


The paper you link to actually seems more interesting to me than the one described in the OP. Definitely a different paper, though, unless the OP author was on crack.


Yeah, that's a different one, but you're right, it is way more interesting. What they've found is that the interactions of groups of proteins is very highly conserved, so proteins that work together towards a function in plants are still working together in humans, for example, even after millions of years of evolution. They use this to find a plant model for a neurological development disorder.


It's the North Dakota of Brazil, without Fargo, the movie.


I don't believe North Dakota is even in the same league when it comes to cluelessness. Rondonia's courts win hands down, apparently.


No, I think not. The populist governments are just trying to control it.


But I think that's his point - the power of the internet has come from it's openness and freedom. Try to control it and trying to kill it are very much the same thing, even if a government isn't conscious of that.


Yes, you kill the internet by killing the freedom spirit of it. But these governments want to keep it alive and free for them and for their friends.


In Portuguese they are called "keys", so you just use open-key and close-key, but I understand that that in English would be confusing.


That's a bad, literal translation of how it's called in Portuguese. "Keys" can be translated to "chaves" or "teclas".

Anyway, I don't get this, just as a joke. "Parenthesis", "Brackets" and "Braces" do just fine, thank you very much.

() Parenthesis => Parêntesis [] Brackets => Colchetes {} Braces => Chaves


Hardly bad, literal yes, almost. 'Chaves' (keys, braces, staches in the post's joke) really come from the mathematical term 'chaveta', a punctuation, symbol that serves as a opening and closure in mathematical terms, hence the term as a key and not as brace (what would be better translated as braçadeira).


It's Jon. Sorry.


I'm not sure why you're sorry? Yes, I'm not American so may be there is something that I don't know? Just plain curious ;)


I suspect the original submission said "John" and not the correct "Jon".
