It was a "Jump to Conclusions" mat. You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor... and would have different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO. I'm going to pitch this company and see if I can

How exactly are you so sure about this? And if it's small, that doesn't mean it can't have an impact. Also, perhaps I'm missing something, but it doesn't see like we have any real info about this, if you have more,

Every time I explain my experience in academia to VCs or those in business, they don't believe me. "It can't be that bad!" It is. I've worked at 3 of the top schools in the world and it's a total mess as the OP

To answer your first question, 1. they can move much faster than academic research. More money in basic research isn't going to fix the antiquated process in which academics live. It's also not going to help researchers learn how

you can try http://zocdoc.com . It's like Yelp for doctors, we have it in NYC and it's quite good. It's the only resource I've found to find doctors in this city.

I didn't know that:) In the Life sciences, we tend to pay. We also publish images which are very costly. We have one publication that is going to cost us around $3k to publish as it has a lot of microscopy images.

Are you using keith @ stirplate.io ? It should be working...sorry if messages are getting bounced.

What you mentioned there is one of the reasons why I left to do this company. They won't come if you build it, and many of the science startups have felt that (Quartzy.com and ScienceExchange.com). Both are doing well, and run by aweso

Also you don't pay a lot of money to post to Facebook or Reddit. You do when you publish (Cheapest publication I have was ~$500). Publishing a paper is expensive.

I'm working on something similar to what you mentioned right now @ stirplate.io However, to "make it mandatory for publicly-funded ..." is the difficult part. I'm with you 100% (I'm a neuroscience PhD) and this nee

That is 100% true, but that isn't a fair comparison. Peer review should be open, scientists shouldn't be allowed to choose who reviews/doesn't review their papers, and the process by which selection is done needs to be m

Or people spend a lot of time and money trying to chase down something that a ground "found" and published. It's very common to read a paper, think it sounds good, then try build on it only to find that you can't. Peer r

Hello all, I'd love to get the feedback of any of the Life science HN members. The ultimate goal here is to centralize, organize and automate scientific data. There is such a big gap between basic research and technology that I had to

Hi all, 4th attempt w/ recommendations from YC founders and no interview this time. I think I know why (single founder, little traction). My company, Stirplate.io, is an app for scientists to store, share and analyze their data in the

I have to agree, Elizabeth is fantastic. Super nice, easy going, and clearly very intelligent :) Really happy to see that she is getting involved in this, looking forward to seeing how YC picks up science based companies.

I'm counting on it:) I think we can see something like this in our life time the way that information is moving.

Love the idea, I'm a single founder as well and tend to talk to my poor GF about my issues (luckily, she is awesome :) ). Looking forward to see where this goes.

Github solves a problem that I don't have, but that doesn't mean it's a bad product right? Not to argue with you specifically, but the concept of "solves a problem I don't have" isn't really an issue. I

I'm always surprised how long it takes for someone to post this question :-) the notices tend to go out around 8-10pm est. Good luck everyone!

Agreed, there is nothing wrong with GSD as long as it's organized. I see this in science all the time, "I'm too busy to show you how to do something, just GSD!". That ends up meaning: 1. GSD 2. Do it again, it wasn&#x27

Thanks, I was worried about that:) Cool idea though, once it's a little more structured, that could be helpful.

I've been on internet forums for over 14 years now, the complaints the OP has are the same complaints I've heard everywhere else. I've heard people say the same stuff (maybe slightly different topics, but the same content) n

I’m a scientist and I agree with this article. Fact is that the way we incentivize science is what is causing these issues (that and tenure, but that is a longer post). Science, at least in biology, is just like any business. Both are motiv

Science funding is what drives science now. So the article is correct as are you.

So this woman spends some time in a cash checking place and now knows why "poor" people don't use banks? Poor people don't use banks because you don't need a bank when you live check-to-check. One doesn't need
