[3dem] sharing em maps during peer-review process

[Edward Egelman]

Hi,
  Here is the last slide from my NIH talk. I am hoping that at the 
upcoming 3DEM GRC there can be some discussion of this issue and 
standards for data availability. My eLife paper (Egelman, 2015) also 
discusses some of these points, and in that paper I discuss a published 
model that bears very little relation to the published reconstruction.
Regards,
Ed
