Ah this is so much good news

Done ✅

More details to come.

I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: NASA Open Science 101 from @NASA

Hi Stephen, I enjoy your posts a lot. But at some point maybe you can post on how you manage your time as a Bioinformatician😅. How are you able to do bioinformatics as you day to day job and still be able to read all these papers,write your blog & consolidate information like this. It’s mind blowing

Absolutely

Anyone with ideas?

I didn't see one so I just created the Gut Microbiota starter pack!

Fascinating, remote jobs have always been my dream haha.

Hi Peter, it seems they are only taking people who are already based in SA . Quite great positions though.

I’ve been rewriting some of my scripts into Nextflow pipelines 🚀 If you’re new to Nextflow or looking for a great reference, I highly recommend training.nextflow.io. The tutorials are packed with valuable tips to help improve your Nextflow scripts. #Nextflow #Bioinformatics #CodingTips

Many many thanks

Sometimes I wonder if I do the same bioinformatics other people do😅

Hello. By any chance are the openings still avail? Just saw it but the link says it’s no longer there. I feel I would be a perfect fit for this given my masters thesis was on genome annotation.

Did you find it @philarevalo.bsky.social ? I’m am in dire need of it. I am finishing my master in bioinformatics and I don’t think I’m ready to jump into a PhD right away. Almost all jobs I see, they want a PhD or postdoctoral.

Is there a database out there of bioinformatics/biological data science jobs at the entry level? Would be helpful for advising students interested non-academic careers without a graduate degree. #bioinformatics #datascience #iknowhashtagsarentathingherebutwhatever

My deep learning course at the University of Geneva is available on-line. 1000+ slides, ~20h of screen-casts. Full of examples in PyTorch.

#bioinformatics friends, I recently saw a thread either here or at the old place, discussing how in direct RNA sequencing you can sometimes recover truncated intronic transcripts - does this sound familiar to anyone? It's suddenly become very relevant and I can't find the thread!
