Bluesci takeover

By Alice Milne

{react} is run with a great deal of passion but not a lot of expertise.

The publishing industry is a wilderness. For example, did you know can reproduce someone’s twitter comment but may not be able to use the image in the tweet, or that you need bleed margins and to print pages in multiples of four? That’s before you even try to organise a committee meeting. Herding post-grads is like herding overly-educated cats.

It turns out {react} is not alone. I had the delight last week of talking to members of BlueSci, Cambridge University’s science magazine. We discovered that despite being 229 miles away (if the crow flies along the A1), we had fought many of the same battles. They invited {react} to become part of a nationwide, university science magazine network, to provide a platform to share expertise, ideas and opportunities.

Today we will begin by sharing an article.

Data in this modern electronic, social, web-based sphere is big, really big – writers from Cambridge tell us more about big data and its implications in our BlueSci takeover.
