Article Roundup - November 9-11, 2009
I've decided to start a new resource for myself, and for anyone who might find this useful. Each week, an incredible number of neat articles and posts do the rounds on twitter - but I often find myself skimming them and then forgetting where I saw it. Going back through twitter feeds is such a hassle that I figured I should start collecting them into a single resource.
I'm not quite sure what the right format it, but I'm sure it'll fall into place quickly. The only criteria I have for this list is that it must be 1. insightful, 2. science related, preferable genomics or genetics related and 3. well written. I'll probably end up settling for any two of the above, but hey, for the first post, I'll try to keep my standards high.
Originally, when I started this, I had assumed I could do this one week at a time, although it's rapidly becoming difficult to process the significant number of links. Instead, I'll start off with 2-3 days, which should make it manageable. Additionally, having looked at this over the past couple days, I can see that some serious categorization will be necessary in the future. So, for a first try, here are the links I've collected since Monday.

Hey Anthony,
Good idea. I've been meaning to do something similar (but slightly different) myself - this is a good reminder for me to get my act together and start posting it.
A very good idea, and it's helpful to see what other people are collecting as well. We do something similar on the GLR with a Weekly Twitter Roundup (see: http://www.genomicslawreport.com/index.php/2009/11/06/weekly-twitter-roundup-3/ - next one out tomorrow morning) but without doing any categorizing or curating. If you can keep up with that it'd be amazing.
