Analytics with Google

Not quite there yet, I guess...

David Glazer: since #bigdatamed researchers are looking under lampposts (e.g. SNPs), we should build brighter lights and search more broadly

@atulbutte @thatdnaguy That's Nice, but Genome cannot answer all our questions abt pathology; esp on molecular phenotype level #bigdatamed

Amazing!! With the help of this really "Awesome Sreenshot" software, I've been able to print each and every screen/page, with all the problem sets and midterm and final exams, including correction! 101 documents that will come in handy whenever I will feel like I need to review some or all of this stuff that gave me so much fun and challenge -- and that I came to love ;-)

Tim Gardner, Riffyn: "The industrial revolution of genetic engineering"

The industrial revolution of genetic engineering: synthetic biology. Let's start building the future! Tim Gardner's Keynote at The First Day of Tomorrow 2014 Paris, April 18. Twitter: #FDOT14. The application of industrial measurement systems is the next frontier in Synthetic Biology. Next frontier in synthetic biology: applying industrial measurement & quality, even during the research process. #Gardner #Riffyn. 3D printing of stem cells.
"Hi Catherine, I noticed that you posted my talk from the FDOT conference on youtube. I am flattered and appreciative that you enjoyed it. But for many reasons I do not want the presentation on youtube. Would you mind removing the post? Perhaps we can have a chance to meet in person at some event the future. And perhaps there will soon be a presentation I don't mind posting on youtube! Thanks in advance for your understanding." All the best, Timothy Gardner

Cloudera Launches Data Scientist Certification

http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2014/03/28/cloudera-launches-data-scientist-certification

"Concurrent’s application platform for big data is certified with the Intel Data Platform, Datameer 4.0 introduces 'flip side' view for big data analytics workflow, and Cloudera addresses the industry need for big data skills with a certification program and big data challenge for data scientists."

Cloudera launches certified data scientist program. Cloudera announced the industry’s first hands-on data science certification, called Cloudera Certified Professional: Data Scientist (CCP:DS). Consisting of an essentials exam and data science challenge, the new program helps developers, analysts, statisticians, and engineers get experience with relevant big data tools and techniques and validate their abilities while helping prospective employers identify elite, highly skilled data scientists. The demand for data scientists is at an all-time high, and they possess a rare combination of engineering capabilities, statistical skills, and subject matter expertise that is difficult to find. Once candidates have passed the Data Science Essentials exam, they must then successfully complete a Cloudera Data Science Challenge, offered twice annually. Cloudera’s second Data Science Challenge opens on March 31 and is about detecting anomalies in Medicare claims.
