Mobile apps for scientists were discussed, including types like dedicated apps, web apps, and where to find them. Apps are available for tasks like molecular design, interacting with databases, and calculations. Features of tablets versus phones were compared. Future developments may include more powerful platforms, easier data entry, and cross-platform apps. An example problem of tracking calf embryo biopsy samples was presented, and how a mobile app could provide an integrated solution by simplifying data entry and syncing information across devices.

Editor's Notes
- #2: Hi everyone, and welcome to this Bioconference Live presentation on mobile apps for scientists. Today I am going to be talking about apps for scientists that can be used on mobile devices . . . like this one. My name is Rory Macneil, and Im from Axiope. We provide an electronic lab notebook that includes a sample management capability, and you can use it on an iPad. Its called eCAT. As part of the presentation Im going to show you eCAT on the iPad in action, and how its useful in the lab. Let me get started by setting the scene with an overview of what well be covering today. Please fire away with questions at any time during the presentation. I may respond to a question as it comes in, or if it looks as if its going to interrupt the flow I will hold off and answer the question in the Q&A session at the end. Also please feel free to identify yourself and let me know what your particular interest in the presentation is. Ill try to cover things in a way that makes the presentation relevant to your interest.
- #3: So, heres a quick overview of what were going to cover today.

- #13: Molecular Materials Informatics Alan Clark Mobile molecular datasheet is flagship Others, e.g. Reaction101 , which allows editing of a chemical reaction, consisting of reactants, products and reagents, which are defined by structures, names and stoichiometry.
- #27: So thats an example of the kind of application thats coming soon. It takes advantage of the development of mobile platforms to enable much richer use of mobile devices encompassing a broader range of research activities.
- #29: Thanks for listening. Now Id like to turn to questions. Ill start with ones that have already come in, but feel free to ask more as we get into the Q&A.
