I don’t know if they’re checking the comments on this. You should probably email them at the email address if you’re interested in applying. (It also looks like the deadline for this round has passed, but they might be able to tell you when next year’s applications are due.)

Comment on Bio Web Conferences – Critical discussions with developmental biologists for deep learning. by kara_cerveny

Thanks for this post, Mike! I’m hoping to start doing something similar at Reed College and would like to get some advice/details about how you record the discussions. Also, thanks for sharing your archive. It is indeed a very useful resource. I think this is one of the many ways in which technology improves teaching and learning.

Comment on Would you use a digital lab notebook? by Teisha

I also used Dropbox in the lab a lot — it was great having documents easily accessible between lab and home (although, this does mean you may tend to do more lab work while at home!).

The main problem I came up against was running out of space (I eventually paid for some). If you’re dealing with large files a lot (such as sorting through microarray data or other computational-heavy data, or lots of immunocytochemistry images), you’ll probably want to buy some space.

I found Photoshop easier to learn than Gimp. But now that I don’t have access to the lab copy of Photoshop anymore, I’m back to the confusing Gimp again. I don’t need it very often, which is not helping with the learning curve. It’s functional, but the interface is non-intuitive.

Excellent. I second Marsha’s comment.

In theory there is Gimp to do what Photoshop does. But the learning curve is just as steep for me, and in the end I gave in and bought Photoshop. Some reflections and comments in that decision over here. But I still regret not having Linux on a work computer - they’re all hooked up to a microscope, or otherwise need to run software that otherwise is only written for Mac OS/Windows.

.. and another 16 GB free if you go through this:

I’ve already tried it myself successfully and now have close to 20 GB of dropbox space.

Don’t forget to upgrade to a student account to get 500 MB per referral (and increase your maximum free space limit).

Also I just found out that if you sign up to beta-test Dropbox’s photo uploader, they give you 5GB free!

Nice post! Very informative. I use a few of these already and will try some I just learned about today.
