Thanks for creating Screensaver and making it available under open source license. Screening facilities are very slow to adapt to new innovations, especially in the big pharma, and I'm happy to see that Screensaver was created at the Harvard Medical School. Currently, each lab makes its own software, which costs large amounts of money to develop and maintain. So, instead of rediscovering the wheel, if screening facilities would reuse Screensaver and contribute back to this project, it would reduce the cost and improve performance for all high throughput screening facilities.
Very nice article!
