Comment on The Final Chapter on XMRV and Prostate Cancer by Ralph Dratman

Ralph Dratman — Sun, 05 May 2013 18:15:30 +0000

Dear Gilda Tachedjian,

You wrote that XMRV was a “laboratory-generated virus.” Did you mean that it was a virus engineered in some laboratory (maybe for use in transfection), or do you mean simply that it was introduced inadvertently into the study tissue as a result of laboratory contamination?

Thank you.

Comment on Announcing the PLOS Text Mining Collection by Neil Pakenham-Walsh

Neil Pakenham-Walsh — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 10:17:06 +0000

Congratulations to PLoS on this important work. As chair of the Dgroups Foundation and coordiantor of HIFA2015.org I am especially interested in how to harness the diversity of experience from social media such as email forums. One of the papers touches on this in relation to Twitter, and states: “Online social media provide unprecedented access to data allowing for inexpensive and efficient tools to identify target areas for intervention efforts and to evaluate their effectiveness.” At the moment, automated data mining is a fairly crude tool and manual data mining is still needed to analyse the nuances of discussions on policy and practice.
