GetScientific is Live!

It's been a long road but Christoff and I finally committed to getting this thing live by the end of April and we hit our goal with a day to spare. The final pieces of the puzzle were:

• Getting our pre-submit process working
• Making sure the submission forms included the right info and excluded the wrong stuff
• Improving the look and utility of the individual submission pages
• Adding categories and sub-categories for all the major subject sections
• Arranging, re-arranging, and re-re-arranging the header to fit everything in there

… and a million other little things! That doesn't meant we're done, in fact far from it. A few things coming up to look out for:

• Improved user profile including the links you've submitted and the comments you've left. we also want to include an ability to save links on the site.
• Refined categories based on feedback from users and subject matter experts.
• Much, much more content!

If you're not sure where to start, the best place is our "Getting Started" page which will walk you through a few of the first steps you should take on the site. Next, check out our About Page and FAQ to get a little better acquainted with what we're trying to do. Next, browse one of the subject area dashboards (biology and chemistry are the most populated at this point) to see what's going on.

If you're a hard sciences student, professor, or hobbyist, please sign up for an account and help us by submitting any notes you might have in digital form or any of your bookmarks that might help other people. Give us a day or so to check them out and get them live on the site. If you find a link you like, go ahead and leave a comment or share it with your social network. To receive updates from the site you can follow us on Twitter, subscribe via RSS, get a daily email with new content, or join us on Facebook.

Finally, if you're a college science professor or graduate student and have any inclination to help us with our category structure, please contact us using the Feedback link above and let us know how you'd like to help. We're happy to help you in any way we can in return.

Thanks to everyone who has helped us along the way and look forward to great things in the future!
