Replacement for iDisk and iWeb Services: Alternative Websites and Cloud Services

Are you a former iDisk user, Apple's former version of the "cloud" that provided you with a remote place to store and share all kinds of files? Not only your music, pictures, and movies, but also any file you desired? I used the iDisk since it began in 2000/2001. File sharing, backup of laboratory management files and my websites were all served in that iDisk system. Now, like you, I had to find alternatives when Apple suddenly announced they would replace the iDisk with iCloud. The problem with that was that iCloud does not let you store all of your files (i.e. WORD docs), and it cannot provide web-server functions (serving out your htm/html files to web browsers). Here is my recipe for successful replacements for iCloud's short falls: remote file storage, file sharing and web server.

Summer Undergraduate Program in Eye Research: paying forward.
S.U.P.E.R. 2013 scholars.
Here is our current crop of SUPER students in the Eye Research Institute. SUPER stands for Summer Undergraduate Program in Eye Research. We have eight newbies this summer, and as you can see they pretty much reflect the nature of our community and the trends in higher education. As we headed into the new century, we already knew that over 50% of science degrees were now being awarded to women. More and more professors in the sciences are also women, more than any time in our past and thus more role models exist to pave the way for our daughters who desire to be scientists and physicians. At this time, it is also not unusual that most graduating medical school students are now women. It is clear from our records of SUPER applications over the last decade that the women applying are more likely to have higher GPAs and thus do well in our initial selection of applicants for interviews. Our students are also from a variety of ethnic backgrounds, reflecting who we are in North America and Michigan.

FABRIC POSTERS FOR SCIENCE MEETINGS.
LOOK. No more tubes. This poster I am presenting Monday at the ARVO meeting (Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology ) is printed on polyester fabric. Folded into my carry-on bag.
TODAY, Saturday, I am giving a talk on imaging amyloid plaques in the retinas of Alzheimer model mice. A method that is non-invasive and I hope will be added to a doctor's tool kit in the future. I am not even trying to make money from the idea. Imagine that :)
Ken Mitton.
