[kingjacob]

Hey Sudoers, If anyones interested in science ;) there's a cool event
coming up June 15th-16th.

*
> StartUp Science* is an event, business plan competition, innovation
> challenge series, and mentorship network designed to catalyze the formation
> of teams, projects, and companies focused on positively transforming the
> infrastructure of modern science.
>
> *
> This initiative will support the emergence of a new type of “science
> entrepreneur” combining perspectives from the worlds of research,
> technology, and engineering, to build novel solutions to difficult problems
> and bottlenecks affecting contemporary research.*
>
> *Traditionally, efforts to encourage entrepreneurship in science have
> focused on established categories such as medical devices, therapeutics,
> diagnostics, and, most recently, digital health.
>
> In contrast, StartUp Science is dedicated to strategic platforms and
> applications dealing with what could be best thought of as “Meta-Science
> Tools,” disruptive technologies and approaches which will make the entire
> innovation system function more effectively for all stakeholders.  The
> scope includes interrelated meta-categories such as Big Data, (especially
> bioinformatics and infrastructure for next generation sequencing), Data
> Visualization, Reproducibility of Research, and Scientific
> Attribution/Reputation/Accreditation.*
