Co-founder of SciVee, Phil Bourne, gives and overview of what the SciVee project and website is about.
See the history of microbiology in nine scenes of gags, burlesque, drollery and song. Produced by Active Cultures, the vernacular theater of Maryland, Petri Dish Circus is a play based off of the classic non-fiction novel Microbe Hunters by Paul Henry de Kruif. Much like the original book first published in 1926 that describes 12 historical milestones in science, Active Cultures reenacts "the daring-do of Louis Pasteur in his Parisian lab, the Scotch fortitude of Ronald Ross as he travels through disease-stricken Africa, and the melancholy saga of Walter Reed as he battles Yellow Jack in Cuba" - all with a healthy dose of humor. In this episode, we interview Mary Resing, artistic director for Active Cultures, who talks about Microbe Hunters as inspiration for theater and her whimsical, and slightly pointed, approach to the portrayal of women featured in de Kruif's work. Excerpts from the actual performance are also featured.

Directed in 1971 by Robert Alan Weiss for the Department of Chemistry of Stanford University and imprinted with the "free love" aura of the period, this short film continues to be shown in biology class today. It has since spawn a series of similar funny attempts at vulgarizing protein synthesis. Narrated by Paul Berg, 1980 Nobel prize for Chemistry.
Xan Gregg provides examples of studies where the absence of access to raw data has profound implications and argues that scientists should make their raw data available even before they publish their results.

Spiranthes praecox, greenvein lady's tresses, is an orchid native to eastern North America, from eastern Texas to New Jersey. Though many members of the genus are difficult to identify, this species is readily distinguished by the green veins on the lip of the flower. A yellow veined form is also known (C.J. Sheviak and P.M. Brown. In: Flora of North America. Vol 26, 2002).Plant 15-80 cm tall; with mostly linear leaves (1 - 5 mm wide) often hidden inleaf litter; inflorescence in a spiral, often ranked when viewed from above; pubescent with blunt, glandular hairs. Flowers with a green veined lip; fragrant.

This piece follows an earlier Editorial, “Ten Simple Rules for Getting Published”, which has generated significant interest, is well read, and continues to generate a variety of positive comments. That Editorial was aimed at students in the early stages of a life of scientific paper writing.
The student council (http://www.iscbsc.org/) of the International Society for Computational Biology asked me to present my thoughts on getting published in the field of computational biology at the Intelligent Systems in Molecular Biology conference held in Detroit in late June of 2005. Close to 200 bright young souls (and a few not so young) crammed into a small room for what proved to be a wonderful interchange among a group of whom approximately one-half had yet to publish their first paper. The advice I gave that day I have modified and present as ten rules for getting published.
