Edinburgh, Scotland Princeton, NJ, USA Moshe Pritsker, Co-‐founder and CEO Reproducibility in Science Former Amgen Director: Chose 57 landmark academic ar.cles & tried to reproduce the findings Bayer Study: Chose 67 academic ar.cles & tried to reproduce the findings Not Applicable 3.0% Par.ally Replicated 11.9% Replicated 11% Fully Replicated 20.9% 1 Not Replicated 64.2 % Source: Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 2 Fully replicated 3 Not Replicated 4 Not Replicated 89% Source: Nature Reviews Drug Discovery Challenge: Dr. Mary Wallingford, a senior fellow in the Giachelli Lab at the University of Washington, needed to learn a new method to move forward with her own research on vascular development and vascular disease. Solu.on: Wallingford was unable to pin down someone who knew the technique. Faced with hal>ng her experiment un>l a new member was hired for the lab, she turned to JoVE. There she found a video by Li Liu and Karen Duff from Columbia University about cerebrospinal fluid collec>on from the cisterna magna in mice that she needed to con>nue her work. Results/Benefits: 1. By watching and learning from a JoVE video, Wallingford was able to improve dissec>on techniques so successfully that it saved the university from hiring extra help in the lab. This added posi>on would have been salaried at ~$40,000. 2. Wallingford now uses JoVE to train new students in the lab, to learn techniques related to her own research field, and to learn methods from other fields per>nent to her work. “Visualizing the experimental techniques greatly decreases the 7me it takes to perform a new technique with high efficacy.” -‐Dr. Mary Wallingford, University of Washington Challenge: For Dr. Leonard Khiroug’s lab, understanding the func>onal and morphological plas>city of neurons and glia cells is a complex process. The lab u>lizes many different research techniques including two-‐photon microscopy, patch clamp electrophysiology, and TIRF microscopy, among a variety of others. Solu.on: The lab has come to rely heavily on JoVE videos. From training new students to implemen>ng addi>onal techniques in the lab to sharing exis>ng techniques with remote colleagues, the Khiroug lab strongly stands behind the value of scien>fic videos. Says Khiroug, “JoVE offers the possibility to show and tell how the experiments are done, including fine details that are difficult to communicate via text and figures alone.” Results/Benefits: 1. Khiroug and his lab on-‐boarded a new surgical technique in 2 weeks with the use of JoVE that would have taken a year to learn without it— in other words, a 96% increase in efficiency in >me use. 2. They have since published 4 ar>cles with JoVE. Their first publica>on has received 26,000 views and has been cited 7 >mes in other journals. “It took us 2 weeks instead of 1 year to learn a new surgery technique published in JoVE.” -‐Dr. Leonard Khiroug, University of Helsinki JoVE Has a Global Videographer Network Science Education is a revolutionary video database dedicated to teaching laboratory fundamentals through simple, easy to understand video demonstrations. There are currently 7 collections of this product with planned eventual expansion to 35 Science Education Quizzes • For all SE videos, we will be releasing quiz questions/answers so that they can be administered to students • The professor will be able to generate a quiz based on a particular video, and then choose if they would like to use any or all of the default questions supplied by JoVE • The professor will also be able to create their own questions. • Once a quiz has been issued, the quiz takers will receive an email with a link to the video and quiz. Once they take the quiz, the quiz results will be immediately available to the professor (or quiz issuer) to review Mobile Website & Applications • We have just released a mobile version of jove.com (for bener viewing and naviga>on from phone and tablet-‐based browsers), as well as both Android and iOS applica>ons Introducing JoVE Visualize JoVE Visualize is a powerful new research tool designed to help scien>sts, researchers, and faculty search through 4.5 million PubMed ar>cles with links to over 4000 relevant, data-‐rich JoVE Journal video ar>cles. JoVE Lab Index is a proprietary new tool developed by Jove to enable scientific researchers to identify the most influential scientists within a specific research area and rank them by their contributions to the field. JoVE Lab Index searches "hundreds of thousands" of researchers and "millions" of published articles by specific area of scientific research. Researchers can view published works related to each topic, ranks of scientists, profiles of individual Principle Investigators, including their research interests, affiliated institutions, top collaborators, publications, and grants awarded by the NIH and/or the NSF. Additional features include a robust listing of open job postings within the defined research area and speaking events at conferences.
