How do you separate out roles from the individual? I don't think that's possible. - Todd Hoff

I think people do often compartmentalize their roles. Ultimately it may not be possible--stuff will eventually leak across compartments. However in the short run it is a strategy for thought, speech, and action that can be handy in many situations. - Ruchira S. Datta

Happy New Year! - Afonso Xavier

My surgical kit contains: Blade - Highest quality by X-Acto. For opening the patient up. Duct Tape - For surgical repairs. WD-40 - For clearing up adhesions, gastrointestinal obstructions, and whatnot. Pliers - For performing extraction. Binder Clip - For clamping, e.g., bleeders. Drinking Straw - For suction. Stapler - For closing the patient up. Pencil - For planning out my operative course. Eraser - Staedtler Mars Plastic erases everything completely! For fixing mistakes. Calculator - If the patient is bleeding out 20ml/min, how long do I have before she bleeds to death? Dice - Random number generator. When making decisions, I need to game out possible scenarios. With my calculator, pencil, and dice, I have everything I need to run Monte Carlo simulations! A writing surface, you ask? Did you know an adult human has 16 square feet of skin? In case the pencil lead doesn't adhere, you may notice my blade has a nice pen-like form factor. - Ruchira S. Datta

You need to market that kit! :) - Anne Bouey

Anne, a fine idea for a sideline! - Ruchira S. Datta

Hahaha! - Anne Bouey

"[Glaxo-Smith-Kline] is making its trial database available to researchers in an attempt to steer the use toward scientific purposes. It is not merely providing summary data, but is sharing patient-level data, which will support a broader array of research and is a higher level of transparency...this step alone is remarkable...I think we will look back on today as a watershed moment." Hope this pans out. - Ruchira S. Datta

""Under the hood we built a new engine for computing on streams, called the StreamOS, and we wrote it completely in javascript and HTML5. The StreamOS does a lot of things, like real-time natural language processing and semantic classification, topic detection, analytics, sentiment analysis, trend detection, personalization, visualization, profiling, computation, storage, networking, messaging, and much more… ... But what’s most interesting about the StreamOS is that, after years of optimization, we have gotten the StreamOS engine down to the size of a photo. And it runs in a distributed fashion, in your browser, when you are at Bottlenose." - Ruchira S. Datta

Thanks Walt. - Ruchira S. Datta

This particular feature is useful during collaborative liveblogging so we can see each other's comments and reduce redundancy while composing our own. - Ruchira S. Datta

On the plus side for Google+, conference liveblogging bangs on the commenting system really hard, and I've seen nary a glitch so far. - Ruchira S. Datta
