How knowledge graphs will transform drug discovery

What if we could bring all the knowledge, data, insight, and prior decision-making of drug discovery together and use it to accelerate the discovery of new drugs? What if we could encode the millions of known relationships between potential new (or old) drugs, protein targets, genomics, biological processes, and disease mechanisms, and then use all this together to get new insights into disease and treatments?

An EOC in your pocket: turning your phone into a state of the art Emergency Operations Center

There are now a plethora of apps and services that mean that if you do have internet service, you can to an amazing degree replicate the functions of an Emergency Operations Center (EOC) on the smartphone in your pocket. In this article we will describe a set of apps that will enable you to achieve the primary functions of the EOC: meeting & sharing space, phone and radio communications, situational awareness, and access to plans, documents and maps.
