Journal of Visualized Experiments – an open access video journal

Something new every day! Since this journal has been around since 2006, it’s not that new. But, it is now indexed in MEDLINE and it is Open Access. Look here for training videos. Link them from your website!

From their “About” page:

Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) is a peer reviewed, free access, online journal devoted to the publication of biological research in a video format.

The Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) was established as a new tool in life science publication and communication, with participation of scientists from leading research institutions. JoVE takes advantage of video technology to capture and transmit the multiple facets and intricacies of life science research. Visualization greatly facilitates the understanding and efficient reproduction of both basic and complex experimental techniques, thereby addressing two of the biggest challenges faced by today’s life science research community: i) low transparency and poor reproducibility of biological experiments and ii) time and labor-intensive nature of learning new experimental techniques.

The complexity and breadth of life science research has increased exponentially in recent years. Research progress and the translation of findings from the bench to clinical therapies relies on the rapid transfer of knowledge both within the research community and the general public. Written word and static picture-based traditional print journals are no longer sufficient to accurately transmit the intricacies of modern research.

No Tuition! No papers to write! No reading assignments! And best of all, No tests!

Maybe you barely survived high school biology and, as time whizzes by, feel lost in the terminology, the technology, and the treatments that the medical profession is using these days.  Perhaps you’re a science buff who wants a refresher course.  Maybe you wish you had chosen a medical career.  Well, now you can!

The Mini Med School program is each Wednesday from 7pm – 8:30 pm. This popular lecture series was founded in 1989 by J. John Cohen M.D., Ph.D, Professor of Immunology and Medicine at the University of Colorado Denver, and has been copied around the world.  The Mini Med School is a free, non – accredited, eight week program.  The lectures will be video broadcast from the Denver Museum of Nature & Science promptly at 7pm, and you can attend there or at one of the many distance sites around the state.  You won’t get a medical degree, nor can you practice medicine, but you will get the background, the overviews, and the updates that can make all the pieces of the biomedical puzzle fall into place.  Each class includes an hour presentation on the evening’s topic, followed by an opportunity to ask questions.  The program covers the basic science that underlies medicine.  Topics such as molecular and cell biology, anatomy and physiology, immunology, cancer and pharmacology, pathology and microbiology will be covered.  Taught by experts in their field, these great CU lecturers are chosen for their ability to make the technical language of medicine understandable.  By attending 6 of the 8 weeks you’ll receive a diploma!

REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED TO ATTEND and seating is limited.
