Best iPhone Apps for Scientists

The Scientist is my source of interesting leads and news in the science world, but yesterday, it has posted what I think is the coolest article ever - iPhone apps every biologist (or scientist, teacher, science geek, aficionado) needs.

I’m not sure if you have access to The Scientist, so summed up, here are the Ten iPhone Apps that will benefit scientists like us:

oh, and if you’re not a scientist (or anyone from above) I’d still check them out as they are supercool!

1. Molecules – for viewing protein structures.
2. Solutions – nifty calculator for buffers and stock solutions.
3. iCut DNA – The Restriction Enzyme Database at your fingertip, for all the restriction sites and recognition sequences you just can’t remember
4. PubSearch Plus – search PubMed from your iPhone or iPod
5. Papers – the “iTunes for literature” so sync your collected journal papers on your mobile
6. The Chemical Touch – the periodic table and amino acid table, in detail
7. Promega – yup from the same company that gives protocols and applications
8. LabTimer – who doesn’t need one? Make that four timers!
9. Evernote – “remember everything”. So take notes!
10. RSS Reader – Newsstand and Byline are recommended.

Check out the detailed info on each website or at The Scientist, and thanks to Balachandar Radhakrishna for thinking this all up!
