I asked at yesterday’s Bioinformatics meeting (before Andrew Phipps gave a great talk on bioinformatics in ChIP-Seq) for some more graphics for the website. Currently we have two beautiful photos of eucalyptus kindly provided by Rebecca Jones, but it would be great, great great, to have some more. I’d most like to have

photos of organisms we work on;
pictures of us working (Sunday best, white lab-coat because we all wear lab coats, or fieldwork-camo);
microscope slides
really good diagrams! While Marketing prefers to work with photos and therefore high resolution TIFF and JPG images, a lot of what we do is producing great figures – so vector graphics of your beautiful gene regulatory network, or ecological model, or whatever, would be great too.

Things I don’t want, and which you’d probably never want to provide anyway:

At present I’m running the site, adding content as I can, but I welcome any thoughts and suggestions of what you’d like to see on it. At present it’s not open for general viewing but I’d like your opinion, so please let me know if you think there are major things that you’d like to see, or you’d like avoided, on the site. Alternatively, because I *do* have access, you can always drop in (I like visitors) and let me know to my actual face (erk, scary).

Also, there’s a people page on the site. Currently there are three names on the page: mine, Jac Charlesworth (Menzies), and Chris Burridge (Biological Sciences). If you’re actually pretty into bioinformatics and you’d like your name to be on that page too, it can be set up, but due to our being in different Faculties, I cannot edit the People page directly: it has to be handled by the web services team centrally. Ergo, if you want your name on it, please let me know and I’ll request it of the web services team.
