Dear Paul 

It seems exciting to have such a database. Although I have not yet explored it fully but it looks like we can have answers to many queries within minutes. If I face any difficulty in finding something, can I direct my queries to your email ?

Thank you

Dear all, 

I have a non-confocal post, but one that will hopefully be of interest
to this community.  A group of us in the systems biology department at
Harvard Medical have built a database to store useful biological numbers
( www.bionumbers.org ), such as cell and organelle sizes, diffusion
coefficients, protein concentrations, etc. 

We built the database because of a common realization of how many hours
it can take to find even the most trivial numbers in the literature.
And then once the number is found, where to store the information for
future use?  Bionumbers is more permanent and more searchable than
post-it notes.  We can't guarantee the accuracy of the numbers, only
that they are published values - the site is meant to rapidly connect
you to literature sources - a sort of Pubmed for numbers.

Please check out our database and mabye even enter some numbers you
would like to keep track of - all database users will benefit from your
entry.  The database is a long-term project of the department and will
be continually improved for the foreseeable future.  Any suggestions to
make the database more useful are very welcome ( [log in to unmask] ).
