Ithaca, N.Y. (Vocus) October 22, 2009
Forget serendipity. Research scientists, meet social networking.
The National Institutes of Health have awarded the University of Florida – with Cornell University Library and Indiana University as major partners – a two-year, $ 12.2 million grant to bolster a national, Facebook-like, professional social network that enables scientists to find new biomedical research and partnerships. The new network will be called VIVOweb.
By fostering alliances, it is hoped that biomedical research and discovery will move faster. The project will rest on VIVO, a technology developed at Cornell since 2003. It built a comprehensive network of scientists that identified existing projects and initiated new cooperation.
“Before VIVO, the Cornell librarians heard a lot of frustration from faculty members who couldn’t find collaborators from different disciplines across campus,” Medha Devare, Cornell librarian for bioinformatics and life sciences. “The idea of VIVO was to transcend administrative divisions and create a single point of access for scholarly interaction. Now that VIVO is expanding across institutions, the biomedical community will be able to benefit from that bird’s eye perspective of their research.”
Money for the new grant, awarded through NIH’s National Center for Research Resources, originated from American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding. This has already opened eight positions at Cornell and more jobs at the other partners.
Cornell will spearhead the development of the multi-institutional functionality of the VIVO technology; the University of Florida will focus on developing technology for keeping each site’s data current; and Indiana University Bloomington will develop social networking tools to enable researchers to find others with similar interests. Four other institutions — Scripps Research Institute, Juniper, Fla.; Ponce School of Medicine, Ponce, P.R.; Washington University of St. Louis; and the Weill Cornell Medical College, New York City — will serve as implementation sites.
Jon Corson-Rikert, head of Information Technology Services at Cornell’s Mann Library, initially developed VIVO in 2003. As researchers and administrators embraced the newly created network, a team of programmers, designers and librarians expanded the project to all other disciplines at Cornell.
Other universities began to explore the open-source, free software. VIVO has been adopted for local networks at other universities and institutions in the United States, Australia and China. This new project will follow VIVO’s original model and build a multi-institutional platform for the biomedical community.
The Cornell effort to develop VIVOweb will be led by Dean Krafft, the Library’s chief technology strategist, Corson-Rikert and Devare. VIVOweb’s open Semantic Web/Linked Data approach will empower researchers to extend their research communities — not just via prior knowledge or serendipity, but through recommendation or suggestion networks based on common traits described in the VIVOweb researcher profiles.

Syracuse, NY (PRWEB) August 18, 2006
Well known professors Dr. Boyce Watkins (Syracuse University) and Michael Eric Dyson (The University of Pennsylvania) are seeking solutions to Paris Hilton-itis, the name for a social disorder that Watkins claims has infected many American college students. The “disease†consists of symptoms related to an overwhelming sense of laziness and entitlement, along with excessive behavior in the form of long nights of partying and drinking. They will discuss the problem Thursday, August 21 at 12:15 EST on The Michael Eric Dyson Show, a nationally-syndicated talk show, airing in several major cities.
Dr. Watkins, author of “Quick and Dirty Secrets of College Success – a Professor Tells it Allâ€, says that college student culture is out of control. “When I heard about the allegations at Duke University, I didn’t wonder if anyone was raped,†says Watkins, who has given advice in USA Today and The New York Times, “I was thinking ‘What in THE HELL were 19 year olds doing having a party with 27-year old strippers?â€
Dr. Watkins has made regular appearances in the national media, including The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch (CNBC), Hannity & Colmes (Fox), and Quite Frankly with Steven A. Smith (ESPN2). He is a strong advocate for the development and protection of college students and fairness in American society. Michael Eric Dyson is considered one of the preeminent thinkers in America, and holds a Chaired Professorship in the Humanities at The University of Pennsylvania. Both professors use hip hop as a tool for communication and often have riveting discussions designed to stimulate thought and action.
As a Finance professor, Watkins was the only American Financial scholar selected to visit with the Center for European Economic Research, a German Think Tank which advises The European Commission. Watkins argues that Paris Hilton-itis is not good for America’s economic future.
“America has become a strong nation because we are productive. We work harder than nearly anyone else, and we are better educated,†says Watkins. “But after traveling the world and seeing that other countries are educating their students more effectively, I believe that we are in trouble.â€
Watkins’ books tell students that they should have fun in college, but simply learn moderation. “I am tired of people thinking that drinking till you puke every weekend is normal,†says Watkins. “The cool 20 year old with the beer in his hand every weekend eventually becomes the pathetic 45 year old at the Betty Ford Clinic. This problem usually starts on campus, and it can end on campus as well.â€
About Dr. Boyce Watkins
Dr. Boyce Watkins is a Finance professor at Syracuse University. He is the author of “Quick and Dirty Secrets of College Success – a Professor Tells it Allâ€. For interviews, please call (315) 487-1176. For more information, please visit www.boycewatkins.com.
