Hi, all. Here is a very useful blog post by the biomedical scientist, Jonathan Eisen:

The video is worth watching and the article Eisen discusses is here:

The authors of the article state, "...we are developing an intelligent figure search engine." Kind of a cool, worthwhile thing to be working on.
