- Meet Dr. Google Health: Roni Zeiger, right from Stanford! (Pimm): A Google career after medical school. Sounds interesting, doesn’t it?
- 2collab is a new type of research tool; a collaboration platform designed specifically for researchers in the science, technology and medical communities. I’ve recently received a letter from them describing a social media survey that they sent out to research professionals.
Results from the survey show that many researchers believe social applications will have a major influence on the future of research.
Social media and electronic journals will be the future of scientific information dissemination. Current scientific journals must not disappear but the business model will change.
Researcher, Environmental Science, aged 45-54, Spain

Lol, I’ve just subscribed to researchgate and now I found out about 2collab… what are your personal thoughts on them? Which one will you primarily use?
And how does BioMedExperts compare to these ??
2collab is a digg-like site; at least more than a Facebook-like service. BiomedExperts is just like Researchgate. We will see which one can live longer…
BioMedExperts seems to have more interesting features! I’ve just signed in!
