Manage References Online
November 5, 2009 – 2:19 pm
Nature Publishing has developed an online reference management tool called Connotea. This free tool is accessible on any computer and allows researchers to save and organize their references as they conduct their literature searches. In addition, it allows researches to easily share their research with colleagues. References can be saved to traditional resources as well as web sites, web PDF documents, etc. For more information, visit http://www.connotea.org.
Researchers at the Friedrich Miescher Institute (FMI) for Biomedical Research in Switzerland recently announced the discovery of a new neural circuit in the retina that is responsible for the detection of approaching objects. Further research showed that these same cells also play a vital role in night time vision. The research, which was reported in Nature Neuroscience, was conducted by scientists at FMI and the École Normale Supérieure (Paris). 
A call for papers has been issued for the 4th International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedical Engineering (iCBBE 2010). Submissions in all areas of bioinformatics and computational biology and biomedical engineering will be considered. Special topics include biomedical imaging, biostatistics and biometry, IT in bioinformatics. etc. The conference will be held in Chengdu, China in June, 2010.
