Hello and welcome to our new Science Practice blog!
We’ve been busy working on a lot of exciting projects over the past couple of months and we wanted to share them and some of the interesting things we’ve learned along the way with you. So, here are some of the things we’re currently working on.
Wrapping up Longitude
Science Practice was the lead research partner for the Longitude Prize 2014. We’re currently working on setting up a project page for Longitude so we can share some of the things we learned about designing challenge prizes and engaging with experts from the scientific community. We will also talk about our research approach, what worked and what didn’t.
Sequence Bundles visualisation and tool
Over the past couple of months we’ve been working together with the Goldman research group at the European Bioinformatics Institute to create a software tool for our Sequence Bundles visualisation method. We’re now close to launching the first iteration of this tool and start exploring how it can support researchers in discovering sequence motifs in their data. More to come as we venture out into conducting user studies.
Science Practice without borders
November is going to be a big month for us as we’ll be presenting at two international conferences. James G and Ana are off to the IEEE VIS 2014 conference in Paris where they will be talking about some of the best practices of visual design. Marek is heading to Mountain View, CA to participate in a workshop on extraterrestrial communication at the SETI Institute. But more about these in future posts.
That’s about it for now. You can find out a bit more about us and get in touch here.
Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you soon!
