Are you an app addict? Forget Angry Birds and Candy Crush Saga for a while and download some of the apps that are on offer from our science ejournal and database providers.
There are several PubMed apps available - here's a review that compares six of them for the iPad and iPhone, and here's the page where you can download some of them
The Royal Society of Chemistry has also made its journal content available via an app - details here http://www.rsc.org/publishing/platform/rscmobile.asp
Take ScienceDirect with you wherever you go with their apps for iPad/iPhone and Android
Note that to access full text articles you may have to register your account from a Birkbeck PC initially, so that they know you are a registered student or member of staff.
EndNote user? You can also take your references with you on the move, or add to your EndNote library with the app for iPad. This one costs £6.99.
If you're looking for a job in science, the Nature jobs app is free and available for iPhone/iPad and Android.
