Just say something like “Alexa, ask Science Grandpa for news about Malaria “ and it will search PubMed for you.
Moreover, you can search by the most relevant papers on a topic by asking: -What are the most important papers about dengue?
-Get me relevant discoveries on malaria.
Science Grandpa will tell you the title of the articles and, if you like, send the abstracts to your Alexa app.
If you want to give feedback or report bugs, you can reach out to lubianat@ime.usp.br. This is an open skill and the source code will be available soon in github.com/lubianat. Feel free to build upon it!
This skill was built by @lubianat at the Computational Systems Biology Laboratory of the University of São Paulo (http://csbiology.com/) and is part of a suite of skills called ‘Lab Family’.
Each skill is independent of the others, and they are meant to improve daily life in molecular biology laboratories. Of course, you are free to use them anywhere you like!
