This year I came full circle to be the Faculty Advisor to COMBINE, the ISCB RSG for Australia (and @abacbs.bsky.social student subcommittee) โ€” a group I was part of in the olden days.

It's mostly a hands-off role but my only (strong) advice so far? Get on BlueSky! So, welcome @combine1.bsky.social
