2009 NIAID CIO Award

Bioinformatics, Recognition & Reviews, User Experience

Dec 112009

Today I was proud to stand with my colleagues and receive the 2009 National Institute of Allergy & Infectious Diseases Chief Information Officer Award for our hard work on the Papillomavirus Episteme (PaVE).

PaVE is a public-facing research tool for biologists researching the Papillomaviridae family of viruses. I was (and continue to be) the usability analyst and UI designer for the project. The team includes Yasmin Mohomoud, Vivek Gopalan, Sandya Bandaru, Qina Tan, Jason Barnett, and Yongjian (Jason) Guo, Leo (Li) Lu, as well as myself. Congratulations, all!

C. Montgomery Burns Voice: Ehhhxcellence.

Transcriva 2 Named Apple Staff Pick

Bartas Technologies, Recognition & Reviews

Nov 172009

Apple named Transcriva 2 (2.014) as a Staff Pick on the Productivity Tools section of their download site. It’s always nice to know the “Mothership” is watching.

For those unfamiliar, Transcriva is transcription software for the Mac. It’s a low-cost, high-organization alternative to voice recognition packages (we hates them, we hates the voice recognition packages!) for those who want or are legally obligated to transcribe things manually.

I’ve only had one other application (well, a plug-in, really) receive this honor, and that was Ziplight, which of course is now superfluous. Though I don’t win a prize or anything (please, Apple, give us at least a keychain-sized anodized-aluminum cube), it does give me an oddly disproportionate dose of pride.

Good thing, too – I’ve been griping all day about my splitting headache.

Here’s what Brett Terpstra has to say:

“Transcriva has made my life exponentially easier and is a tool I’d gladly recommend to anyone with similar needs. My direct experience with the developer has also been great, with quick response times and a single bug report resulting in a new build within a couple of days.”
