Scientific research is an international endeavor
In September, PLoS Computational Biology begins a series entitled “Developing Computational Biology” about the pursuit of scientific endeavors in computational biology around the world. Each country has unique features in areas from educational programs, types of research being undertaken and the ways that research is funded. The series starts with a perspective on computational biology in Mexico, followed by contributions about Brazil, Cuba, Argentina, China, and South Africa.
Watch out for the opening editorial by Philip Bourne and Steven Brenner, and make sure to sign up for Content Alerts to be notified of each new article in this series as it is published. We hope that you enjoy the series, and that it inspires you to let us know about computational biology in your part of the world.
