The talks went well Sunday for my session with Joel Usansky from Thermo, Jeff Tishler from IDBS and Randy Julian from Indigo BioSystems. The first two talks were predictably product focused, with some tie in to Ligand Binding Assays and general Bioanalytical work flow. When Randy stepped up, he led off with a slide contrasting vacuum tubes and transistors, highlighting the need for something new, as opposed to optimizing the current systems. He then went on to talk about linked data as opposed to the standard static schema architecture of our database systems. He lost a good portion of the audience as evidenced by some of the questions, but the talk was spot on and tied together several ideas talked about earlier.
I am looking forward to following up with Randy when I return from Europe to compare notes.
