Generally, people don’t have the time or energy to sit and plow through pages or screens of text; they want to be able to ingest information as quickly and easily as possible. With the recent rise of infographics (information graphics), what used to require an avalanche of stats or analyses to dissect, can now be interpreted and relayed into an easy-to-read, fun, and visually appealing schematic – and an excellent content marketing concept. Infographics, when designed well, can be applied to different online sites and social networks. Summarized at the article are 5 free tools (with links) that allow you to start creating simple infographics or explore the potential of data visualization... Via Lauren Moss

Reading through scientific papers can be a terrifying experience, and not just because of the jargon. Take, for example, this string of words: “We classified injuries as initial or subsequent injuries. An initial injury was defined as the athlete’s first injury incident during the season. Subsequent injury was defined as any injury that occurred after the initial injury, including re-injury to the same body part or a subsequent new injury to a different body part. Total injuries included all injuries recorded, initial and subsequent.” Via S. Diez de Medina Ph.D.

“Findings published in the peer reviewed journal BioData Mining…” A sentence like this instantly adds credibility to a scientific article. But it isn’t simply the name of a prestigious journal that assures readers of an article’s validity; it’s the knowledge that the research has been peer reviewed.

Puede que suene insólito, pero mucha gente hace clonaciones a diario ¿sabes lo que es?
22 octubre, 2012 por Israel Salcedo @Salcedo_Israel
Cada vez que escuchamos la palabra clon pensamos en ciencia ficción, sociedades futuristas e investigaciones científicas de países peligrosos. Cualquier cosa alejada de la vida cotidiana. Y sin embargo, etimológicamente clon viene del griego κλών, retoño. Quizá eso ya nos resulte más familiar. Y es que seguro alguna vez has intentado sacar esquejes de una planta. Eso es clonar.

OneZoom Tree of Life Explorer... An excellent way of visualizing data... Good usage of fractals.
"Big data" is a growing issue in science and industry, as modern computing has enabled large amounts of data to be captured and stored, revolutionizing many branches of science. These advances, however, also lead to challenges, such as how to explore and visualize large data sets. The very first blue-skies idea that could have been identified with OneZoom was that of a mind map so vast that it could contain all human knowledge. The concept involved making the information easy to explore by laying it out in ever smaller bubbles using a fractal structure and a zooming interface so that the computer never runs out of space to put the information no matter how much there is. OneZoom is committed to heightening awareness about the diversity of life on earth, its evolutionary history and the threats of extinction. This website allows you to explore the tree of life in a completely new way: it's like a map, everything is on one page, all you have to do is zoom in and out. OneZoom also provides free, open source, data visulation tools for science and education. Via Lauren Moss

The mind map concept is also showing up in a project and upcoming conference and book for organizing and making available the diversity of research information in neurobiology. From the link below you can track down that information. Also you can go to newsroom.ucla.edu and search for Dr. Silva, below.
I believe that the visual representation of complex systems is going to percolate progressively into fields less friendly to or organized as a science.
"Alcino Silva, a professor of neurobiology at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and professor of psychiatry at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA. " UCLA researcher invents new tools to manage 'information overload' threatening neuroscienceBefore the digital age, neuroscientists got their information in the library like the rest of us. But the explosion of neuroscience research has resulted in the publication of nearly 2 million papers — more data than any researcher can read and absorb . . .
