But Where Do People Work In This Office?
I could go on and on and on. The pattern keeps repeating.
With everything we know about openplan offices, why are these mega-rich companies knocking themselves out to hire the very best and brightest minds from the world’s best universities, paying them huge salaries, tapping world-class architects to design artisanal office spaces in the most expensive place in the country, and then cramming desks together in noisy bullpens?

On his post Matt asks a question that has always come to my mind when seeing those Big Company workplaces on magazines and specialized blogs.
My desk is usually messy, in a room of four and a lot of times I feel we’re too many, especially when each of us is at work on something different, with different people coming in … in person or via a Skype or phone call.
NATURE, SCIENCE IN ALL-YOU-CAN-READ FORMAT
All research papers from Nature will be made free to read in a proprietary screen-view format that can be annotated but not copied, printed or downloaded, the journal’s publisher Macmillan announced on 2 December.

scientific publications have to make transition to open science
“An inherent principle of publication is that others should be able to replicate and build upon the authors’ published claims. Therefore, a ondition of publication in a Nature journal is that authors are required to make materials, data and associated protocols available to readers promptly on request.”
— Nature, Availability of data and materials
OpenSource.com Magazine last June 12nd published an interesting (and promising) article on Nature Methods, one of the most respected scientific publications in the world, shifting with decision to an ‘open science’ model for its articles approval process…
a game changer
Researcher Natalia Ivanova was parsing this data when she noticed something strange: several bacteria had really short genes, around 200 nucleotides long, a far cry from the more typical 800-900 nucleotide length she was expecting. Short genes mean short proteins, and in this case, seemingly nonfunctional ones. The only way to make it coherent was if “stop” codons didn’t actually mean “stop”.
Ivanova experimented computationally with various codon reassignments, and ultimately found that things looked a lot more normal if “opal” was translated as a glycine amino acid. In other words, “the same word means different things in different organisms,” says Eddy Rubin, JGI’s Director. The microbial world is multilingual.

one more year at ITB, Bari – CNR
Technical Collaborator …
Aug. 1st I’ve started (yet again) a 12 months collaboration contract with Bari’s section of the C.N.R.’s Institute for Biomedical Technologies for the “Identification, classification and configuration of a bioinformatics infrastructure for the RNA-Seq noncoding RNAs data functional analysis” within the LIBI project.
