    Self‐surveillance

    Should you worry or simply embrace your personal data?

    1. Laurie Frick, Artist (laurie{at}lauriefrick.com) 1
    1. 1Austin, TX, USA

    We can sequence genomes, track sleep patterns, record exercise levels and estimate health risks. But why? Perhaps art can help us take ownership of and learn from our personal data.

    “Genetically Modified Lite” placates public but not activists

    New technologies to manipulate plant genomes could help to overcome public concerns about GM crops

    1. Philip Hunter, Freelance journalist (ph{at}philiphunter.com)1
    1. 1London, UK

    New technologies that create genetically modified plants without transferring foreign genes may help to overcome public concerns, but they are unlikely to convince anti‐GM activists to give up the fight.

    1. 1 Department of Pharmacology and Systems Therapeutics, Systems Biology Centre New York, Icahn School of Medicine, New York, New York, USA

    Understanding disease causes and drug action at the molecular and systems levels could help to identify combinations of drugs that are more effective than individual drugs alone.

    Toward a role model
    1. Roded Sharan1
    1. 1 School of Computer Science, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel

    With ever‐growing amounts of 'omics data, the challenge is to develop an automatic modelling pipeline that receives as input large‐scale data pertaining to the system of interest and outputs a complete, logical model that maximizes the fit to the given data.

    A Mobius strip of scientific imaginationHow deep does the relationship between science fiction and science go?

    How deep does the relationship between science fiction and science go?

    1. Paige Brown1
    1. 1 Manship School of Mass Communication, Louisiana State University, USA

    From H.G. Wells to Star Trek, science fiction and science have had a long and fruitful relationship. But does science drive the imagination of authors, or do authors drive the imaginations of scientists?

    Had enough of that crummy stuff
    1. Howy Jacobs

    The mobile internet, launched amid great fanfare, falls far short of scientists‘ needs and expectations. Howy argues that it's time for a rethink.

    Brothers in armsMilitary funding for basic and applied biomedical science is thriving, with civilian applications delivered along the way

    Military funding for basic and applied biomedical science is thriving, with civilian applications delivered along the way

    1. Andrea Rinaldi1
    1. 1 Cagliari, Italy

    The horrific injuries and difficult working conditions faced by military medical personnel have forced the military to fund biomedical research to treat soldiers; those new technologies and techniques contribute significantly to civilian medicine.

    The A to T of historical evidenceHistorians, archaeologists and geneticists are teaming up to answer historical questions

    Historians, archaeologists and geneticists are teaming up to answer historical questions

    1. Howard Wolinsky1
    1. 1 Chicago, Illinois, USA

    Geneticists and historians collaborated recently to identify the remains of King Richard III of England, found buried under a car park. Genetics has many more contributions to make to history, but scientists and historians must learn to speak each other's languages.

    Elixirs of deathInternational organizations are working towards a global solution to address the problem of falsified and substandard medicines, but progress has stagnated

    International organizations are working towards a global solution to address the problem of falsified and substandard medicines, but progress has stagnated

    1. Katrin Weigmann1
    1. 1 Oldenburg, Germany

    Substandard and fake drugs are increasingly threatening lives in both the developed and developing world, but governments and industry are struggling to improve the situation.
