A guest post by Richard Littauer
If you've been following @richlitt on Twitter for the past six months, you may have noticed that I've been talking about scientific workflows a lot. I was doing an internship for DataONE, an NSF-funded cyberinfrastructure initiative that tasked me with finding out all I could about scientific workflows from a site called myExperiment, which is a repository and social network for scientists who use them. However, if you're outside of the fields of bioinformatics or harder sciences, you may not know what I'm talking about when I talk about 'Scientific Workflows'.
