OpenWetWare
OpenWetWare is a Wiki for biology and biological engineering. It uses the MediaWiki server software that is also used by Wikipedia.
Wikipedia vs. Britannica on Science
Nature compares Wikipedia and Britannica coverage of science (via). The mass spectrometry community should be paying attention since the Wikipedia entry for mass spectrometry is one of the top hits for “mass spectrometry” on an increasing number of search engine pages (e.g. the #4 hit on Yahoo today). The entry has been edited more than …
Mass Spectrometry Terms Second Draft
The Second Draft of Mass Spectrometry Terms is nearing completion. Please take a look and leave a comment.
Journal of the Mass Spectrometry Society of Japan
The Journal of the Mass Spectrometry Society of Japan has free full text versions of articles older than one year (via, via).
FTMS Tutorial
IonSpec has updated their FTMS tutorial to include MALDI, ECD and other modern amenities while keeping the nice description of basic FTMS. My only complaint is that the frames implementation makes it difficult to deep link.
