 l health and food safety:&nbsp\; two very important concerns in today&rs
 quo\;s world. Global commerce requires an increasingly vigilant approach
  to protect the food chain\, especially regarding food products from ani
 mals.\nImagine a world where the scientific community collaborates on th
 e results from their research &ndash\; an open access forum with researc
 hers from around the world.&nbsp\; That world is destined to become real
 ity\, thanks to the work of Daral J. Jackwood\, PhD.&nbsp\; Dr. Jackwood
  is the Director of The Center for Diagnostic Assays at The Ohio State U
 niversity and Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center in Woost
 er\, OH.&nbsp\;\nDr. Jackwood is leading efforts to encourage researcher
 s to adopt open access science in the fields of animal health and food s
 afety through the Center&rsquo\;s www.diagnosticspeak.com.&nbsp\; This u
 nique forum is dedicated to advancing open access science within the com
 munity of infectious disease investigators.&nbsp\; Professionals utilize
  these forums to share discoveries\, seek insight and advance the field 
 of animal disease diagnostics in order to ensure the safety of the world
 's food supply.&nbsp\;\n&ldquo\;DiagnosticSpeak.com is more than just an
  eMail listserv\,&rdquo\; according to Dr. Jackwood.&nbsp\; &ldquo\;Diag
 nosticSpeak.com provides an opportunity to create a database of diagnost
 ic information that is searchable and available to everyone.&nbsp\;&nbsp
 \; Participating researchers will stay better informed about animal heal
 th issues and new diagnostic assays.&nbsp\; They can also exchange ideas
  on how to more effectively and efficiently conduct diagnostic assays by
  interacting with colleagues on diagnostic issues related to food safety
 .\nDiagnosticSpeak.com was created in 2008 to help these professionals c
 ollaborate regarding diagnostic assays by interacting with colleagues on
  issues related to animal health and food safety.&nbsp\; The worldwide a
 pproach will help facilitate the exchange of ideas on how to stay better
  informed about new and emerging diseases &ndash\; an approach designed 
 to improve food safety by enhancing animal health. &nbsp\;To that end\, 
 the forum invites participation by diagnostic professionals from around 
 the world.&nbsp\;\n&ldquo\;DiagnosticSpeak.com is designed to provide a 
 single vehicle through which the worldwide scientific community can gath
 er to discuss issues relevant to infectious disease diagnostics in the a
 rea of food safety\, food animals and environmental safety\,&rdquo\; Dr.
  Jackwood continued.&nbsp\; &ldquo\;We&rsquo\;re inviting researchers to
  participate in this open access online community so we all might better
  understand the meaning and value of diagnostic assay results &ndash\; a
 ll in a secure\, members-only forum.&rdquo\;\nFor more information about
