Is digital pathology heading the same way as music streaming? For most labs, the financial and human cost of keeping the infrastructure and delivery of digital pathology in-house is probably too high. But what this will mean for research and teaching activities that rely on easy and unfettered access to data is a tricky problem.

As part of my work on Knowledge Commons, I want to make more of our development process open, welcoming, and transparent, by using blogging. So I will be writing some technical posts on what I’m doing there and how I’ve overcome various technical challenges.

I am attempting the 100 Days To Offload challenge, and this is post #20. References [1] Redflow was the great hope of australian manufacturing.
