		<description><![CDATA[The Research Works Act (HR 3699) seems to have launched a wave of criticism that may finally end the publishers unfair profit of science. This bill pretends to prohibit the federal government, which funds a lot of research, from forcing publishers to make scientific papers available for free. Right now the NIH has a policy that says <a href="http://research.coquipr.com/archives/369"> read more <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

Pumilio was created out of necessity. Our lab was collecting a lot of sound data and there was no system that could help us manage that amount of data.

		<description><![CDATA[A new paper published in PLoS ONE by Matthew Heard, Katherine F. Smith, and Kelsey Ripp have called into question the hypothesis that chytridiomycosis is causing amphibian declines. The threat by this disease seems to have been exaggerated since there are few species for which the fungus is a threat.

Seems to be an interesting overview, with perspectives from climate research, ecology, and other areas. The most troubling figure, from the introduction, was: Just one of each five researchers have funding for data curation.

		<description><![CDATA[I just found this column in Nature discussing the need for scientists to publish the code they used. I&#8217;m still amazed that this is not getting more attention. If a proper-written Methods section is mandatory in a paper, why not the code that produced the results?
