endtwist- Adding some chat bots to the demo instead of linking anonymous users could solve this problem. http://www.alicebot.org/downloads/programs.html

I know some angels in Chicago that are interested in starting an incubator program focusing on translational medicine startups. They have contacts and experience on the regulatory/testing end. Not sure what market you are specifically interested in, but feel free to email me.

Re:Help HN: Vim text editor install on mac on Friday August 15, 2008 @09:47AM (#276969)
This is my favorite version of vim on OS X. It uses Cocoa and is fast. There's a pre-built .app in the tarball on that site and a script to launch macvim from the command line.
It's like software. If you cleanly separate the front-end and back-end it's very easy to tune and swap out the back-end without the user noticing.
I'd be interested to hear more about your b'more startup. Link or email?

There was a rumor that Google would host scientific data

I am not sure if this is true or what the status is.

Open Data Commons has an interesting license for open datasets

There's a Python wrapper to the C++ API floating around too
