Ten quick tips to build a Model Life Cycle

The Data Life Cycle is a useful narrative device to understand how data flow within a project. But understanding how it fits with complex model pipelines has been awkward. So we wrote a thing! It's called the Model Life Cycle, and it's now out in PLOS Comp Biol: 🧪

Newton International Fellowships | Royal Society This fellowship is for non-UK scientists who are at an early stage of their research career and wish to conduct research in the UK.

If you're a non-UK scientist who wants to come to the UK for a postdoc, this year's Newton Fellowships are now open. You'll need a lab to host you (which could be me, but truly, could be any PI, so get in touch with someone you'd like to work with!)

High visa fees putting skilled scientists and entrepreneurs off the UK Leading scientists have now called on ministers to review the upfront costs that must be paid by workers in science, technology, engineering and maths fields.

‘There is a worldwide shortage of scientists and because it’s a worldwide shortage, there’s worldwide competition,' says our Foreign Secretary Professor Alison Noble, as she warns that the UK's visa process and costs could put off scientists from moving to the UK: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
