I came across this post (The way we present genomic and proteomic data on the web sucks, Nascent) while out searching on another task. Interesting that the life science folks are maybe just now starting to get it. I’ve been saying for years that the big issue with communicating genetics, genomics, and evolution in general has to do with HOW we present the information and data. It’s never enough to simply say that researchers need to just do the science. It’s not just scientists that are the shareholders in this project; everyone has a stake and it’s up to all of those involved to take a crack at making the science and the information more accessible, more story-like, and more engaging in general.

Here’s an example of sucks. Too bad I don’t know what to search for.

This was why we started OrganelleView. It’s not the solution, but it’s a start.
