A QUANTUM OF SCIENCE
FaceBook for scientists? Strange but true, a new software system called VivoWeb is attempting to use the tools pioneered by social networking to accelerate the pace of research and collaboration in the time-worn and somewhat stodgy halls of science, beginning with the biomedical field. What began at Cornell now has NIH funding to be expanded at the University of Florida and will soon be implemented at Scripps Research Institute (Juniper, FL), Ponce School of Medicine (Puerto Rico), Washington University of St. Louis, and the Weill Cornell Medical College (New York City).
No news so far on whether it has a Personals section.
