Update: there are two articles, one a news item and the other the interview. I uphold my comments here. They are clearly co-published and should be seen as one event (another intended pun).

I find it very disturbing what role newspapers have in the selection of research to fund. Of course, most of this is indirectly, but claiming that a newspapers decides what is fundable and what is not, is crossing a line. It all started with this interview: Waarom de Nijmeegse astronoom die een foto maakte van een zwart gat nu zonder geld voor onderzoek zit, or 

Deze astronoom maakte een foto van een zwart gat, werd wereldberoemd en zit nu zonder onderzoeksgeld.

Forget about Python being the prime data analysis platform: there are plenty of alternatives and R has been one of them. With CRAN, rOpenSci, Bioconductor (doi:10.1186/gb-2004-5-10-r80) the platform has three efforts where you can publish your R work. I think of them as scholarly journals: the peer review is strong with them. Anyways, over the years I did my share of R coding (a good bit of my PhD is written in R) and contributed to a few R packages.

This blog deals with chemblaics in the broader sense. Chemblaics (pronounced chem-bla-ics) is the science that uses computers to solve problems in chemistry, biochemistry and related fields. The big difference between chemblaics and areas such as chem(o)?informatics, chemometrics, computational chemistry, etc, is that chemblaics only uses open source software, open data, and open standards, making experimental results reproducible and validatable. And this is a big difference!
