Right now, I can only offer our own Netvibes Universe DIGICMB at www.netvibes.com/digicmb . You still HAVE to make your own Netvibes account by yourself and copy all relevant newsfeeds or searchboxes into your own personal start page . (Well, you could ask me to create this account for you or your department, if you really want to try. Let's hope not too many will do this. It's not my job to offer this kind of service at all .... ;-) You also still have to remind yourself that you need to login everyday in Netvibes , instead of just login once in your uni network and get there automatically. You COULD bump into all kinds of weird stuff, get stuck trying to get help or support, because not many know about rss, widgets and gadgets inside this organisation and it is NOT an officially supported service (always beta, right?). I even don't know what our IT-departments would have to say about this, but -for this- we do not need them anyway. They would probably say: better...

A new medical research tool called CAVEman combines data such as CT scans, X-rays and biopsy results onto the holographic floating image. By adding the 4th dimension, time, specialists can see and study the progress of a physical development or study complex cases with representation of all available data visualised. More pictures Thanks Edwin, for mentioning this on your blog! Tags: CAVEman , 3d , 4D , anatomy , hologram , virtual human , visualisation

We have an excellent bunch of bloggers in the Netherlands. They are always uptodate and do not just scan their own subjects. I will blog later on about a 4-D anatomical CAVEman ( mentioned by ZBdigitaal). But now, I want to mention to a Greasemonkey Firefox script that presents PubMed search results with the Google Scholar citations ( posted by Wowter ). Wowter is again referring to a post by David Rothman , which explains in detail how the script can be installed and used. It is one of Davids frequently used topics, as can be seen when you search for "greasemonkey pubmed" in the Medlib Blog CSE. I think this is really wonderful, but I also seriously wonder if we should not put some kind of disclaimer next to it, because, on numerous occasions we have been warned by Peter Jacso and others about the dubious treatment of metadata by Google. Also I wonder if anybody can explain to me what "80% hit"means .... Tags: google , google scholar , gs , grease...
