I’m excited to share I will be speaking at #ABRF2025’s Annual Meeting in Las Vegas in March. This meeting brings together scientific leaders of biomolecular and bioinformatics core facilities to discuss how we can maximize the impact these valuable groups have within their institutions.

This is a call out to bioinformatics developers that we are working to get all of NF-Core pipelines (and by extension most of Bioconda) to support Arm.

Spot price for c8g.16xlarge (Graviton4) and it is below 60¢/hr. Or < 1¢ per physical CPU if your application supports Arm ...

Building an nf-core style modules library for your organization | Seqera If you would like to bring nf-core’s approach to enabling code within your own organization, you can!

One of my favorite talks at the @nextflow.io summit was @kenibrewer.bsky.social's talk on how to NOT contribute to nf-core (using nf-core in your organization). He wrote a nice post on the @nf-co.re blog on building an nf-core style modules library for your organization seqera.io/blog/buildin...

I wrote a blog article about some of the best parts of nf-core's modular tooling and how to use it within your own organization. This was an extension of a talk I gave at the Nextflow Summit late last year.

Read or watch however you prefer!

I didn't do any work directly on the OLE project during my time in the Breaker Lab, but I'm convinced that OLE is one of the most exciting bacterial #ncRNA to be discovered in recent years. Definitely check out this preprint if you'd like to see some really exciting RNA #cryoEM structures.

This is really cool, definitely worth a look for anyone running in environments where container security is of concern (which should be.. everywhere, right?)

📦🔒✨

The magic here for me is being able to automatically halt pipeline runs if new container CVEs are released. Totally hands off but safe.

Really exciting to see @valenceai.bsky.social open-sourcing a large, curated, FAIR resource for #QuantumMechanics datasets. Pre-computing missing values needed to train #ML models is also fantastic from a #GreenAlgorithms perspective.

I'm really sad to see Spring Science winding down. Having worked closely with them in a previous role during a software evaluation, I was incredibly impressed by the quality of their tooling and the caliber of their team.

If you already have the Nextflow VSCode extension installed be sure to update to the latest version because it is 🔥🔥🔥.

The language server that the extension includes has other cool implications for the future of Nextflow tooling. Attend the webinar for details!

If you missed the Nextflow Summit, this is a great way to catch up on major innovations coming to the Nextflow ecosystem.

Seqera AI in particular is exceptional at writing proper DSL2 Nextflow code which has been a major frustration of mine with other code assistants.

Highly recommend!
