Journal of Visualized Experiments (JoVE) is the first video journal for biological research accepted in PubMed, featuring hundreds of peer-reviewed video-protocols demonstrating experimental techniques in the fields of neuroscience, cellular biology, developmental biology, immunology, bioengineering, microbiology and plant biology, free of charge.

If the comments are anything like YouTube's, this may set science back by decades.

I want to see the article on choosing the appropriate soundtrack for your zoological video.

It's a cool journal, but this is a double.

Har har, peer-reviewed. The lab I'm in (let's call it X-lab) was approached by these guys. They said it was just as valuable as any other publication (i.e. an article), because it's "peer-reviewed". "Oh, so who's going to review us?" we asked. "Well, I can vouch for you. After all, you're X-Lab, you obviously know what you're doing." Uhhh.... Still, it is cool stuff. And if you trust X-lab, then you can believe it. From what I can tell, Dr. X just doesn't want us to waste to much time with it.

I hear you Humanzee. Somewhere I've got the slide deck from a talk where the person says, towards the beginning, X happens because the antibody is acting as the limiting reagent, not the analyte. Then, after a huge amount of DOE work, they declare that they can eliminate X by coating the plate with less antibody. That this person was working for a company whose stock is kicking our stock's butt just made me grind my teeth.

I guess [to all of the above]. But there is something horrifying, and kind of great, in getting to watch that magnetic tethering process in real time.
