Microsoft Research's eScience group is helping scientific researchers use database and online sharing tools in ways they might not have imagined, and sharing those experiences with Microsoft product groups that can tweak their software for easier use by the scientific community.

Microsoft researchers showed off some of their projects at the American Geophysical Union annual conference in San Francisco this week, said Catherine van Ingen, partner architect with Microsoft Research's eScience group.
