It was a "Jump to Conclusions" mat. You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor... and would have different CONCLUSIONS written on it that you could JUMP TO. I'm …

How exactly are you so sure about this? And if it's small, that doesn't mean it can't have an impact. Also, perhaps I'm missing something, but it doesn't see like we have any real …

Every time I explain my experience in academia to VCs or those in business, they don't believe me. "It can't be that bad!" It is. I've worked at 3 of the top schools in the world a…

To answer your first question, 1. they can move much faster than academic research. More money in basic research isn't going to fix the antiquated process in which academics live. …

you can try http://zocdoc.com . It's like Yelp for doctors, we have it in NYC and it's quite good. It's the only resource I've found to find doctors in this city.

Stirplate.io, New York City (Soho area) is looking for a Sr. Backend PHP developer. http://www.stirplate.io Stirplate is a VC funded started that aims to completely change how life…

I didn't know that:) In the Life sciences, we tend to pay. We also publish images which are very costly. We have one publication that is going to cost us around $3k to publish as i…

Are you using keith @ stirplate.io ? It should be working...sorry if messages are getting bounced.

What you mentioned there is one of the reasons why I left to do this company. They won't come if you build it, and many of the science startups have felt that (Quartzy.com and Scie…

Also you don't pay a lot of money to post to Facebook or Reddit. You do when you publish (Cheapest publication I have was ~$500). Publishing a paper is expensive.

I'm working on something similar to what you mentioned right now @ stirplate.io However, to "make it mandatory for publicly-funded ..." is the difficult part. I'm with you 100% (I'…

That is 100% true, but that isn't a fair comparison. Peer review should be open, scientists shouldn't be allowed to choose who reviews/doesn't review their papers, and the process …

Or people spend a lot of time and money trying to chase down something that a ground "found" and published. It's very common to read a paper, think it sounds good, then try build o…

Hello all, I'd love to get the feedback of any of the Life science HN members. The ultimate goal here is to centralize, organize and automate scientific data. There is such a big g…

Hi all, 4th attempt w/ recommendations from YC founders and no interview this time. I think I know why (single founder, little traction). My company, Stirplate.io, is an app for sc…

I have to agree, Elizabeth is fantastic. Super nice, easy going, and clearly very intelligent :) Really happy to see that she is getting involved in this, looking forward to seeing…

I'm counting on it:) I think we can see something like this in our life time the way that information is moving.

Love the idea, I'm a single founder as well and tend to talk to my poor GF about my issues (luckily, she is awesome :) ). Looking forward to see where this goes.

Github solves a problem that I don't have, but that doesn't mean it's a bad product right? Not to argue with you specifically, but the concept of "solves a problem I don't have" is…

I'm always surprised how long it takes for someone to post this question :-) the notices tend to go out around 8-10pm est. Good luck everyone!

Agreed, there is nothing wrong with GSD as long as it's organized. I see this in science all the time, "I'm too busy to show you how to do something, just GSD!". That ends up meani…

Thanks, I was worried about that:) Cool idea though, once it's a little more structured, that could be helpful.
