Duncan - I look forward to seeing you again and meeting the
myexperiment team!
Yes, me too.
I'll organise some kind of eating-and-drinking social event for the
Friday night, september the 5th.
Anyone interested?

Open Notebook Science seminar by Jean-Claude Bradley, Friday 5th
September at 2pm, MIB
This talk will describe the practice of Open Notebook Science
(ONS), a form of Open Science where a laboratory's experiments are
made immediately publicly available. The UsefulChem project,
involving the synthesis and testing of novel anti-malarial agents,
will be highlighted as an example of ONS. The use of blogs, wikis,
mailing lists, GoogleDocs, Second Life and other social software
will be detailed. The application of cheminformatics tools to store
and retrieve information will be demonstrated as a means of moving
towards automation of the scientific process in novel ways. Such an
open architecture is conducive to productive collaboration between
groups of complementary competency. For example, the design,
synthesis and testing of novel anti-malarial agents, bringing
together groups from Indiana University, Drexel University and
UCSF, will be detailed.
About the speaker
Jean-Claude Bradley is an Associate Professor of Chemistry and E-
Learning Coordinator for the College of Arts and Sciences at Drexel
University. He leads the UsefulChem project, an initiative started
in the summer of 2005 to make the scientific process as transparent
as possible by publishing all research work in real time to a
collection of public blogs, wikis and other web pages. Jean-Claude
coined the term Open Notebook Science to distinguish this approach
from other more restricted forms of Open Science. The main
chemistry objective of the UsefulChem project is currently the
synthesis and testing of novel anti-malarial agents. The
cheminformatics component aims to interface as much of the research
work as possible with autonomous agents to automate the scientific
process in novel ways. Jean-Claude teaches undergraduate organic
chemistry courses with most content freely available on public
blogs, wikis, games and audio and video podcasts. Openness in
research meshes well with openness in teaching. Real data from the
laboratory can be used in assignments to practice concepts learned
in class. Jean-Claude has a Ph.D. in organic chemistry and has
published articles and obtained patents in the areas of synthetic
and mechanistic chemistry, gene therapy, nanotechnology and
scientific knowledge management.
This talk is scheduled for 2pm in room LG.010 in the ground floor
of the MIB, just past the canteen. Contact Duncan Hull for further
details which are also available from http://www.myexperiment.org/

This talk has been made possible by funding from the http://
