What Is the Holy Grail of HPC Disaster Recovery?
Article
Disaster Recovery (DR) is a vital process to ensure the rapid recovery of an organization’s applications, data and hardware that are critical to operations in the event of a natural disaster, network or hardware failure or human error. In this article, we explore how the public cloud is making ideal DR a reality.
Addressing the Underrepresentation of Women in Science
ArticleWe recently spoke with Jessica Wade, PhD, a physicist at Imperial College London to learn more about her extraordinary efforts to raise the profile of female scientists and other underrepresented groups in science.

The Why's and How's of Electronic Health Record Compatibility Testing
Article
Although they have become the core of many workflows related to patient care, a recent survey showed that only 10% of physicians were satisfied with their current Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. Continuous compatibility testing can make EHRs more user friendly. This article will describe the essential procedures a healthcare organization will need to undertake during EHR compatibility testing.
The Hunt for Therapeutic Antibodies
ArticleGiven the clinical success that antibodies (formerly known as “magic bullets”) have facilitated, the drug discovery field continues to search for new therapeutic candidates. This article highlights several techniques used in the process, and touches on current trends driving the field.

World Yoga Day: Finding the OM in GenOMics
Article
A recent climb in the number of people taking up a regular yoga or meditation practise has seen the terms “downward dog” and “tree pose” enter the everyday vocabulary of many. Today, on World Yoga Day, people come together across the world to celebrate the unity that yoga brings. However, from a scientific perspective, what evidence exists that supports the benefits of a regular yoga and meditation practise?
Overcoming the Identification Bottleneck in Untargeted Metabolomics: Combining Technological and Software Innovations
ArticleUntargeted metabolomics approaches are allowing previously unreported insights into the pathogenesis of disease. However, identifying the large numbers of unknown and structurally diverse metabolites typically present in biological samples has proven to be a major bottleneck. Fortunately, recent advances in technology and software are helping to overcome this challenge.
