High cholesterol? Try some blueberries: "Researchers have found a substance in blueberries can cut harmful cholesterol as effectively as a commercial drug, and has the potential for fewer side effects, according to a new study by the US Department of Agriculture." [New Media Musings]

I'll manage a new group starting first of September. The new group will focus on supporting scientific applications and software development.

There are great challenges ahead. We'll work with Linux-based clusters, grid middleware, future computing platforms, and distributed database architectures. A main topic will be 'integromics' - integrating data, software, and knowledge from different disciplines.

It is nice to be on the way to unmapped country. Great group, great people, huge tasks ahead.
