At the post above, Attila Csordás asks if he is alone in his opinion that most academic laboratory web pages simply do not meet any advanced, current, dynamic web standards, even though this is crucial for them. His view is that many laboratory web pages were set up by “scientists turned web geeks” (his expression! But I like it) some years ago and have never been updated to reflect “web 2.0” and its associated multimedia opportunities.
Attila’s post above features four laboratory web pages that he thinks are good, so do go over and take a look. He’s also initiated an unofficial competiton for the best lab web page, and has received many suggestions and comments. So if your institutional web page hasn’t been updated for ages (which in this context means since about 2004), check out some of the examples on offer at Partial Immortalization (Attila’s blog). You can add in your own nominations or get some creative ideas, or even both.
