Videri - Videri Videri aims to advance knowledge about history and historiography by providing an open forum for scholars and students to post information about historical works. As a wiki, this site allows any member to edit, revise, and enhance the commentary provided by other members. (Anyone can become a member by contacting the administrators.) Most of the database consists of summaries of key works of history, organized by field, as well as interpretive essays on important questions in historiography. Videri was originally founded by graduate students in the History Department at Columbia University in 2004. To edit a page, go to the page and click the Edit button at the top of the screen.Like Wikipedia, the formatting style for pages on Videri is very easy to use.

My Top 10 education blogs I know I shouldn’t, but just can’t help myself. Onalyptica have updated their list of the 100 Most Influential Education Blogs. I was fully expecting The Learning Spy’s presence at no. 26 to be revealed as some sort of temporary and humiliating aberration. This makes my blog the 18th most influential education blog in the world! The weird thing is that I read very few of the blogs on this list and many I’ve never previously heard of. Anyway, this is a timely opportunity to review my own, proudly unscientific selection of Top 10 education blogs. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. There are loads of other blogs I think are wonderful (you can find them on my favourite blogs page; the selection above just skims the surface of what I think is a bit of Golden Age of education blogging. I’ve amassed quite a body of writing now – do feel free to trawl though my archive – there’s a few howlers in there but a couple are quite good.

About OpenWorm OpenWorm is an open source project dedicated to creating the world’s first virtual organism in a computer, a C.elegans nematode. We plan to achieve this goal by 1) bringing together highly motivated scientists and engineers 2) pushing away all the red tape 3) fostering growth of a completely open computational biology community. Science still does not understand the human brain to the level needed to cure diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Believe it or not, science doesn’t even understand the brain of a simple worm! We are a highly motivated group of individuals who believe in Open Science.
