Hi Martin,
I have set a nice lab notebook on WordPress using custom taxonomies I set on posts. It works really well.
As I work on chemoinformatics, my projects will get a big part of developpement project management. Do you use such an application, and if yes, wich one please ?
I saw Gantt Project (desktop application), dotproject and taskfreak for now.
Thanks in advance for your help and best regards.
You are right, but for journalists, authors’ e-mails on pubmed are the only chance to contact them…
Amelia, I think a contact form would also work.
Hallo Martin,
I’m a webdesigner and am on the (long) way to become a wordpress specialist.
Would you have any examples of Blogs that use some of the fascinating tools you describe here and that belong to SOCIAL scientists?
Grüße aus dem Gipfel von Berlin
