#GalwayRNAResearchCluster
Really excited to join this and meet in person the wonderful researchers at the @uniofgalway.bsky.social
people that write about exploiting #AI in their research but have no clue about AI (often using a #LLM to write their posts) - for all that somewhat know how AI works/is applied, it sounds really fake and brings your #credibility down.
Can we all please be real? a challenge in the current climate
0.5FTE, Grade 7 £39,355 pa pro-rata, 4 years fixed term in the first instance
Please note that while the role is offered as a 0.5FTE there may be opportunities to complement FTE with other activities linked to the CBF, depending on the candidate's career aspirations and expertise.
We are #hiring!

Very grateful for all the colleagues that nominated for this recognition as one of the many wonderful #NorthInnovationWomen. Thanks to the @thenhsa.bsky.social for running this campaign to celebrate each other in the community.
So proud to launch this one more year, this year with two awardees.
Alone we go fast, together we go far!
Happy International Women's day! #IWD2025

Not surprising, we observed indirect beneficial effects of vaccination with Salmonella in previous work ( www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). I see it like having your immune system going to the gym, gets stronger and more able to cope with stress
Incredibly excited to finally officially launch our project BIOMEDASA. Biomedical data science needs to work better and we are aiming to do some work to find how we could do this. If you want to hear more get in touch!

It is hehe and this evening the same. 'I don't want to be a princess I want to be Spidey'....well I must source a Spiderman costume... (hat and jumper are not enough apparently) hahaha
Work life balance or six meetings a lecture, a seminar, 20 emails and a ride home emotionally supporting a crying toddler because she wants to be spiderman
What a great Christmas do with the @cbflivuni.bsky.social team yesterday. Happy times, wonderful end of a great year!

Resourcing bioinformatics functions on #research projects with #PhD students, under supervision of supervisors without #bioinformatics expertise is...
(A) Wrong and foolish
(B) One of many ways of wasting research funds
(C) One of many ways of ruining student experience
(D) All of the above & more
We’re launching the LIV-SRF Bioscience Techniques & Research Facility Management MSc! 12-month full time PG programme with extensive hands-on training in our SRFs, as well as the operation & management of core research facilities. Applications open for Sept 2025. More info here tinyurl.com/jpbyvkkf

In 2023 we launched a career pathway for all technical specialists at the University of Liverpool. This guide describes what to consider if your institution wants to do this too. #RTPs #technicians
last saturday we partnered with @livunihls.bsky.social's public engagement team for their regular 'meet the scientists' event at the eureka! science + discovery museum. our stall (led by @ejjohnson93.bsky.social) aimed to show that scientists can be programmers too and was a huge success!
Excellent and well attended inaugural lecture from Prof Ainhoa Mielgo today. She shared insights about her journey becoming a cancer researcher and the importance of resilience, diversity in science & of creating a supportive research culture 🧫🧬🧪👩🔬
Yes!
Thank you!
@andrewrobertjones.bsky.social and I taking the CBF @livunihls.bsky.social work on tour at the #AIsummitLCR
Enjoying the first #AIsummitLCR with the rapid change in tech and opportunities, Dr Nicola Hodson, IBM wisely says that 'we cannot afford to be passengers'. Today we will be showing some of the driving projects we have at the CBF, come and talk to us!
Last few days to apply for this exciting post in #bioinformatics with real #clinical #impact
Join us and work with a supportive team, involved in great science. Commited to development and excellent holiday package
