My PhD Thesis: in color and grayscale

Wednesday is my regular day off from my metabolomics work, and today I am finalizing the layout of my thesis, which I’ll defend on April 2. The print version will feature grayscale images with some of them in color too. However, the PDF version that will end up in our university repository should have color prints.

Collaborative work with Bioclipse

Ola blogged about something he is working on for Bioclipse2. The next major series of Bioclipse releases will use the RCP-based resource architecture, which allows better integrating with other RCP plugins, such as the Subclipse plugin which allows one to browse Subversion repositories directly in Bioclipse. That is cool! Check out the screenshot he posted in his blog. 1 minute read
