Aging Portfolio Outlined

DNAmite Now you can Google the government grants from all over the world! This is the place where scientists can really look into the leading edge of their research areas, since grants precede publications.
Great new Non-Profit tool built by volunteers - www.AgingPortfolio.Org !
An open access paper on the goals and structure of the International Aging Research Portfolio: "Aging and age-related disease represents a substantial quantity of current natural, social and behavioral science research efforts. Presently, no centralized system exists for tracking aging research projects across numerous research disciplines. The multidisciplinary nature of this research complicates the understanding of underlying project categories, the establishment of project relations, and the development of a unified project classification scheme. We have developed a highly visual database, the International Aging Research Portfolio (IARP), available at AgingPortfolio.org to address this issue. The database integrates information on research grants, peer-reviewed publications, and issued patent applications from multiple sources. Additionally, the database uses flexible project classification mechanisms and tools for analyzing project associations and trends. This system enables scientists to search the centralized project database, to classify and categorize aging projects, and to analyze the funding aspects across multiple research disciplines. The IARP is designed to provide improved allocation and prioritization of scarce research funding, to reduce project overlap and improve scientific collaboration thereby accelerating scientific and medical progress in a rapidly growing area of research. Grant applications often precede publications and some grants do not result in publications, thus, this system provides utility to investigate an earlier and broader view on research activity in many research disciplines."

Novel search engine for biomedical projects is live
The Aging.CC non-profit, no advertising website went live this week.
This resource uses the databases from the International Aging Research Portfolio (IARP) that contain millions of grants and publications.
Congrats!

One idea to kill the iPhone
Android will rule the world, we have no doubt. But to accelerate the process, here is a killer idea.
If Google wants to kill the iPhone quickly, all they need to do is to introduce new security features for Gmail that could only be accessible with Android (e.g. Tokin features, face recognition and combination of both)...
It is time for Apple to eat dirt, because their iOS4 turned the older... iPhone 3G into WinCE-like turtlesnails.
