Reactions to the Nature Method special issue

In preparing the Nature Methods special issue on visualizing biological data, our goal was to create a useful resource for the experimental biology community. In the last month since it was published, there are indications that it is having an impact. It was featured prominently on the websites of Nature and Nature Biotechnology, and has also been featured on several blogs related to visualization and biology: e.g., Vizworld, Bioephemera, Timothy M. Kunau, ISPRS WG II/6 blog on Geographical Visualization and Virtual Reality, Getting Genetics Done, HENRY, Vallve’s Blog, QuimBiologĂ­a, and Serialized Thoughts. In addition the special issue was covered in several FriendFeeds from Simon Cockell, Brad Chapman, and Abhishek Tiwari (who runs an interesting blog called fisheye perspective on visual analytics and bioinformatics). The issue was also covered by tweetmeme from joergkurtwegner. The PDFs from the special issue are still freely available, but I believe that soon they will be available only to Nature Methods subscribers – so best to grab them now if you want them, and tell any colleagues who may be interested.
