FORBES: Publish Your Code: This'll Cause Problems in Climate Change Research
The star of the Lib Dem intake is Julian Huppert who seems to be filling the Commons niche vacated by his defeated colleague Dr Evan Harris - the scientist and civil libertarian (he's a "computational biologist" which sounds impressively arcane).
Most recently, a team from Stanford took the helm of Sequoia to run computational fluid dynamics simulations -- a process that requires a finely tuned balance of computation, memory and communication components -- in order to better understand engine noise from supersonic jets.
ENGADGET: Stanford seizes 1 million processing cores to study supersonic noise
The result, according to Larry Hunter, president of the International Society of Computational Biology, is that there is a desperate shortage of specialists capable of developing the computational tools that biologists need.
In 2007, Demis Hassabis, a research fellow at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at University College London, and his colleagues published a study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences showing in five amnesiac patients an impoverished ability to imagine and describe future events.
