@tommytang.bsky.social On #ComputerLanguages for #Bioinformatics There is an era of #Bioinformaticians who learned #R #RLang back when #Python #PythonLang wasn't very good at statistics/plotting. More recently, the trend has shifted towards the latter.

I feel so lucky to be a group leader with time to work instead of just doing bureaucracy. Don’t get me wrong, I still order reagents, check our funds, and mentor students. I decided to reduce grant applications to focus more on #research. I teach molecular genetics and cancer biology from September to January, then I’m free to work. Analyzing RNA-seq data and doing statistical analysis keeps me connected with my team, especially #bioinformaticians. Stay tuned for good things to come. #science

We've refreshed and updated our undergraduate Bioinformatics #Apprenticeship course and are seeking partners who want to train new #Bioinformaticians in their #UK (well, English..) workforce, there's more info here and if you like what you see and want to know more just get in touch.

What are your day-to-day activities?
How do you a keep work-life balance in this role?
What interests you most / find satisfying about this role?
What are the key challenges you faced in this profession?

These are some questions I will answer in an upcoming #interview with an undergraduate. They are keen to understand what do #bioinformaticians do.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and share them with the student so they have a broader view of this #career choice.

Boost welcome :rna: :dna:

Enjoying my day at the annual #NorthernBUG event https://northernbug.github.io/northernbug10, a network of #bioinformaticians and users of bioinformatics services in the north of England. Will be giving an overview of @fairsharing shortly 🙂

Added benefit is that we're at the beautiful Guildhall in York: https://www.york.ac.uk/business/theguildhall/

Exciting #JobOpening for entry level Bioinformatician to join our team team at CIML! You will work with my team and use scRNAseq on intestinal epithelial cells to understand how #IFN modulate tissue repair in the intestine and to develop pipelines to analyze the intestinal #microbiota and its effect on homeostasis.
You will work in the framework of the CB2M core, where #bioinformaticians collaborate and train each other to develop new skills Apply now! Send CV and Motivation letter.

Research in #biology does not just consist of petri dishes and sophisticated machines. A big portion of it happens on the computer via #bioinformaticians. But what exactly do they do? We asked Shuba Varshini Alampalli, one of the bioinformaticians at the Helmholtz Institute Würzburg. 🧫 👩‍💻

22 #bioinformaticians in a room, but we can't manage to share a laptop's screen to a TV screen hanging from the wall. #TechSupport is on it. :blobsweats:

#FirstWorldProblems

Haha, seems there is no need to worry for #bioinformaticians, we will still be in high demand for the foreseeable future ;-)

#chatgpt and #alphacode have both reminded #bioinformaticians to back to their own root, which is the mastery of #bioinformatics #algorithm . Without abstraction of algorithm, no codes will be ever generated, nor executed accordingly. What's your take here? 😉

Come see what we've been cooking up for you! #nanopore and community #nextflow pipelines wrapped up in a GUI suitable for everyone: from baby #bioinformaticians to Gentoo gurus! We're on Linux, Windows and even Mac! IT'S ALSO FREE so give it a try today & tell us what you think!
