Another figure to figshare, does it resemble amyloid fibrils to you? DIC microscopy of kinesin aggregation - FigShare - http://figshare.com/figures...
Fantastic Steve. Keep them coming! Just getting through any fixes needed and trying to get it to the optimum before unleashing it as a beta. It would be really great to have a nicely populated dataset for people to search by then. Cheers. - science3point0
@science3point0 the site is great. For this particular figure, I think I may have broke the "has description=" parameter on the form? I used the form for editing, and I pasted in wiki code from another wiki page. I think the use of ==headings== may not be compatible with the template? It looks pretty much OK (can't access it right this second), but I suspect that it may screw up some things your template is meant to do? Obviously, I can avoid doing that, but I figured you'd want to know about a way users could cause some problems, despite the use of forms. - Steve Koch
It looked okayish to me, obviously the image links didnt work but in terms of structure, it looked okay to me. Keep trying to break it please. I'm down to one known bug to fix! - science3point0
Hey Mark -- Actually, it was a different figure that had the problem. See http://figshare.com/figures..., in the "Description" heading, the text [[Has Description is showing on the page, I think because of the wiki text I posted in the edit form. Also at the bottom there are two ]] - Steve Koch
@figshare I broke the following page by pasting wiki code into the "description" box on the form. I can fix it, but figured I'd let you see: http://figshare.com/figures...
Awwwww. Have a feeling this screen will be tough to remember in 6 months. @figshare #opensciprops

But the real question is, who here (besides me) is old enough and nerdy enough to get the pun behind "geek and poke"? - Bill Hooker
Bill, I DID do peek and poke, but despite racking my brain, I didn't get the pun until you explained. *sigh* - Steve Koch
Just ran across via friendfeed like on this post http://friendfeed.com/the-lif... - Steve Koch

It's still a problem that PLoS user accounts don't let users or readers see a list of all comments / ratings that the user has made.
I'd also like the AE system to give me an easy way to list all the papers I've handled. A list of all the ones that were accepted would be useful for a CV or tenure dossier. - Bill Hooker
Aw, c'mon, I just had a head start! :-) - Björn Brembs

@mendeley_com do you have any OpenAccess slides about Mendeley I can post to my course wiki. We will be using Mendeley for sharing PDFs and other things this semester. Any new Mendeley features that you want me to know about that we may be able to leverage? It's a course on mechanics/thermodymanics of molecules in cells.
I don't know if I'll achieve it, but I have a goal of having all course material posted being OA. - Steve Koch
Steve no I didn't find a single source - I just collected them as I came across them and put them here http://chem242.wikispaces.com/resourc... - Jean-Claude Bradley
Switching from OWW to Science3point0 wiki for course hosting. MediaWiki question - http://www.science3point0.com/s30wiki...
Question for any MediaWiki peeps: How do I make the hierarchy links show up on the page I've linked here? I.e., this is a sub-page of "Assignments." The hierarchy shows up on sub-pages of my user page, but not here. Mark made me an admin of the wiki, so I can fix it if I know how. thanks! - Steve Koch
Hi STeve, if you just send me a list of things you want sorted, (probably best to DM me through S30) I can get them all sorted and run you through each of the steps so you learn how to do it all? Thanks :) - science3point0
Off to RDU to head back to ABQ, farewell #scio11 peeps was great seeing and / or meeting you this weekend!
Was great to see you again Steve! - Heather Piwowar
Great to see you too, Heather! - Steve Koch
Antony Williams, Jean-Claude Bradley, Carl Boettiger at #scio11 Open Notebook Science session. They rock!
Carl great addition to the ONS panel! Super energetic and well-spoken / great ambassador for ONS. - Steve Koch
It was a real pleasure to meet you Carl...both in the session where we survived the technical challenges and then later until 2am where we chatted about changes that could come. Stay in touch...and thanks to all who contributed to that session with their questions and feedback. I really enjoyed it. - Antony Williams
to Jean-Claude Bradley: "Do you ever throw any data away?" J-C: "No." Me: "Me either." #scio11
It was interesting to hear different opinions about that - Jean-Claude Bradley
throw data away? do these people have any idea how much it costed them to get it?? - Egon Willighagen

Hey Gilbert Lewis: Has life evolved a use for deuterium? Or does it just tolerate it? - http://stevekochresearch.blogspot.com/2010...
Lazy question: Anyone know where to purchase seeds for research? Tobacco and mustard seed are my only ideas ... - Steve Koch
It turns out in his 1934 Science paper (which as of July 2011 is not indexed correctly on Web of Science), Gilbert Lewis specifically calls for experiments with deuterium-depleted water to see whether life forms have adapted a need for D in normal cellular operations. "It is not inconceivable that heavy hydrogen, which exists in small amounts in all natural water, may actually be essential to some plants or animals. A supply of water almost completely freed from the heavy isotope is now being prepared for the purpose of conducting such studies." [1] Despite ending his Science paper with these sentences, I could not find any follow-up to these studies! Neither by Lewis and colleagues, nor by any other groups in the following 75 years--except for the half dozen publications on Pub Med studying deuterium-depleted water in whole mammals or mammalian tissue culture.
