The MycetOS (Mycetoma Open Source) project was launched today by the University of Sydney, Erasmus MC, and the Drugs for Neglected Diseases initiative (DNDi) to use an Open Pharma approach to discover compounds that could lead to new treatments for patients suffering from fungal mycetoma (eumycetoma), a devastating disease for which current treatments are ineffective, expensive, and toxic.

Microsoft Makes Cloud-Based Biological Research Tool Open Source
Michael Stiefel | InfoQ | February 21, 2017
Bio Model Analyzer, a Microsoft cloud-based tool that biologists can use to model cell interactions and communications, is now available as open-source on GitHub under a MIT license. Researchers use Bio Model Analyzer (BMA) to create computer models that can compare the processes within healthy and diseased cells. Researchers drag and drop cells, their contents (such as DNA or proteins), and extracellular components onto a canvas. They can also draw the relationships between these components...

Microsoft Really Does Love Linux
Tom Warren | The Verge | September 15, 2016
What a difference 15 years makes. Back in 2001, former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was busy branding Linux "a cancer" during the height of the software giant's domination of desktop computing. Fast forward to 2016 and you'll find Microsoft confessing its love for everything open source and Linux. It's a stunning turnaround that's now backed up by Microsoft's serious attention to the open source world...

Modified Open Source Laser Cutter Prints 3-D Objects from Powder
Press Release |
Rice University |
February 22, 2016
Rice University bioengineering researchers have modified a commercial-grade CO2 laser cutter to create OpenSLS, an open-source, selective laser sintering platform that can print intricate 3-D objects from powdered plastics and biomaterials. The system costs at least 40 times less than its commercial counterparts and allows researchers to work with their own specialized powdered materials. The design specs and performance of Rice’s OpenSLS platform, an open-source device similar to commercially available selective laser sintering (SLS) platforms, are described in an open-access paper published in PLOS ONE.

Mozilla's Science Lab Is a Hub for the Open Research Community
By Kaitlin Thaney | July 3, 2014
Since the launch last June of Mozilla Science Lab, we’ve been working to unpack what science on the web and like the web means, and what Mozilla can do to support it. The Science Lab was created to serve as a neutral broker and hub for the open science community—a means of bridging the gap between the early adopters and the many scientists who understand the value of open science, but who have not yet (for a number of reasons) mapped that understanding onto their day-to-day workflow...

NCSU Hosts One-Day Introduction to Open Source
Christine Hall | Foss Force | February 1, 2017
It’s something of a grand experiment and it’s being being hosted this weekend on the campus of North Carolina State University in Raleigh. What it is might be called a miniconference, but let’s not call it that. “Mini” indicates smallness, and there’s nothing small about this event, even if it is only a single day affair. Let’s call it a full fledged conference. The students attending will like that. It’ll make them feel important and so grown-up — which they are, actually...

Josephine Wolff | Future Tense | August 28, 2014
What could possibly have motivated the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to refuse to release even a single document about the healthcare.gov site’s security in response to a Freedom of Information Act request submitted by the Associated Press? The AP announced that its request had been refused last week and, by way of explanation, cited a statement from CMS spokesman Aaron Albright that “releasing this information would potentially cause an unwarranted risk to consumers’ private information.”...
