Re: Banff demo

Nice work folks on the slide presentation folks. Haven't been able to access the demo, but the goal is obvious. I agree that it's a good foundation to build upon, although it would indeed be nice to have additional sources to work with. Access to sources is likely to be a perm challenge.

Of course the communications on value with some will be more challenging than expressed here- I can almost hear the typical CIO's cynical reply after years of reduced budgets, 70-80% of which is required for sustaining legacy-living little if any for innovation, but R&D divisions I would hope be more receptive. Congrats- a good step. - MM

  Vunderbar!


  Thanks to all who worked hard to pull this off!


  It's hard to get the full impact just perusing the slides, but it looks to me that you pulled together a very compelling demo that examined several questions of biological relevance to neuroscientists studying neurodegenerative disease (AD in particular).


  I also really like the list breakdown of tools to target different aspects of the overall development - e.g., Pellet, Jena, Perfuse, etc.


  I think this will be a fantastic base to build off for ISMB (and SfN).


  Kudos!


  Cheers,
  Bill
