3 Open Source Alternatives to MATLAB
For many students in mathematics, physical sciences, engineering, economics, and other fields with a heavy numeric component, MATLAB is their first introduction to programming or scientific computing in general. It can be a good tool for learning, although (in my experience) many of the things that students and researchers use MATLAB for are not particularly demanding calculations; rather they could easily be conducted with any number of basic scripting tools, with or without statistical or math-oriented packages.

Nature Journal on the Need for Clinical-Trial Data Sharing Regulations
Governments need to tighten regulation if the sharing of clinical-trial data is to succeed. Clinical science has a compatibility problem.
