About a year ago Pedro wrote a Greasemonkey script to add comments from PostGenomic.com to table of contents of scientific journals. Noel extended it with support for Chemical blogspace (see also this earlier item). Now, the later website is maintained by me, and I extended the aggregator software with molecule support, for example to show hot molecules on the frontpage (at some point my patches will be backported into mainstream.

Yesterday and today I was in Cologne to meet with other ex-CUBIC researchers from Christoph’s research group on chemoinformatics (and with Alexandr). Not all former group members where there, but on the other hand we were complemented with Pascal:

In preparation for the Embrace Workshop for Bioclipse in May, I am working on the QSAR functionality of Bioclipse. A nice extension point got set up some time ago, called DescriptorProvider , and implemented by plugins to allow calculation of one or more descriptors for the selected molecules. Now, the functionality for the resulting matrix has been around for some time too.

The end of the CUBIC has come, and so did the end of my 1-year postdoc in the group of Christoph Steinbeck. It would have been much better if the group could have continued for one or two more years, so that we could harvest the fruit of the work done in the past years.

Tuesday promised to be an interesting day: an interesting ‘Scientific Communication’ CINF session in the morning and early afternoon. And, rather important to me, the Blue Obelisk dinner that night, just after another CINF party, where I chatted with a few others about options of a chemistry equivalent of the Google Summer of Code;

I was happy to notice just a minute ago that the first blog items covering the ACS meeting are popping up: C&EN has set up a dedicated blog about the meeting, Nature’s Sceptical Caterine wrote she has reached the meeting too, Richard wrote about the scent of bugs in wine (or so), and Kyle won’t make it other than tomorrow. Additionally, Nature is running a coverage of the ACS meeting.
