The Jour nal of Visualized E x p e ri me n t s , o r J o VE, i s a n online, peer-reviewed and indexed scientific journal that highlights the latest research on everything from plankton cells to human diseases. What makes JoVE different from some 25,000 scientific journals published worldwide is that it presents infor mation in video format. Subscribers can watch scientists perform and discuss experiments, show off new lab techniques and browse through microscope slides. When JoVE first went live five years ago, hardly anyone knew about it. Many researchers thought it odd to submit videos of their experiments instead of writing papers about the results. The JoVE site now gets about 10,000 hits a day and its profile is growing. Those who use JoVE say the innovative site fosters faster exchange of information and better learning. JoVE is now publishing six different online journals and generating $5 million a year in subscriptions. To learn more visit www.ctv.ca/ health or check out www.jove.com.

Hungry Eye Trivia “Cedar” 1. Are cedar trees coniferous or deciduous? 2. Who is the author of 1994’s best-selling novel Snow Falling on Cedars? 3. In which BC city—the “Smallest City in Canada”—was part of the 1999 movie adaptation of the novel filmed?
1. Coniferous
A science journal that broke the mold of academic publishing with a YouTube-inspired approach to sharing new studies is celebrating its fifth year with a growing Web audience.
