Impact of climate variability on internal migration in the Philippines during 2005 – 2010 by Weinreb, Alex, Stecklov, Guy, Arslan, Aslihan, Molina, Luis, Grosjean, Godefroy

“…Second, we use a large set of climate change indicators selected by a climate variability expert team and capture both extreme and slow-onset events at high spatial and temporal resolution. Third, by conducting analyses at different levels (municipality, migration streams and individual) and applying a livelihoods adaptation framework (controlling for a large set of migration drivers in addition to the climate variables) we identify linkages that can be used as policy entry points at different levels.…”

The eBioKit, a stand-alone educational platform for bioinformatics by Hernández-de-Diego, Rafael, Villiers, Etienne P. de, Klingström, Tomas, Gourlé, Hadrien, Conesa, Ana, Bongcam-Rudloff, Erik

“…Bioinformatics skills have become essential for many research areas; however, the availability of qualified researchers is usually lower than the demand and training to increase the number of able bioinformaticians is an important task for the bioinformatics community. When conducting training or hands-on tutorials, the lack of control over the analysis tools and repositories often results in undesirable situations during training, as unavailable online tools or version conflicts may delay, complicate, or even prevent the successful completion of a training event. …”
