At #ISMB2025, @eleanorahowe.bsky.social , PhD shared initial findings from the GAFOS global survey on how these data resources are used—and what’s at stake if they vanish. Check out findings from the GAFOS global survey on how these data resources are used. www.linkedin.com/posts/diamon...

Excited to be at #ASGTC2025.

I spent my early career on open-source software for science. Come meet me at BioIT World in Boston's Seaport today for a pop-up meeting about free/open scientific software and data resources.

Join us for a panel and networking event in honor of Women’s History Month, sponsored by Lilly, Diamond Age Data Science, and Boston Women in Bioinformatics. This event will bring together mid- to senior-level biopharma executives for an unfiltered conversation www.eventbrite.com/e/boss-moves...

We can't agree with you more!

I'm getting lots of inquiries these days about finding a compbio job. This is the worst job market I've seen or heard of, and possibly the worst market since Bioinformatics became a field of its own.

I recently finished a sculpture of the Ras protein. Mutations in Ras are found in many cancers and cause Ras to be stuck in an “on” state. The sculpture shows the Ras protein, GDP nucleotide (first molecule) and the Ras-targeted drug sotorasib (second). Made from bronze, steel and copper. #SciArt

Good morning everyone, I'm back to live-posting the Cancer Research Conference, held in Newton, MA. Our first talk is from Ying Xu, of Southern University of Science and Technology, China

Just a reminder, I'm live-posting talks from the 2024 Cancer R&D conference, ongoing in Newton, MA right now. cancer.unitedscientificgroup.org

Congratulations Elana!

Thanks everyone who attended the BCBB event at Portico last night. For you Boston-area bioinformaticians on Bluesky, look at BCBB for meeting up with other compbios. It's a great community, full of science people and great work connections. Find them at www.meetup.com/Boston-Compu...

Please join us at Portico Brewing Co. for the BCBB meetup, November 14, 6-8pm. 101 South Street, Somerville MA. Tacos are on us! RSVP here: www.meetup.com/boston-compu...

Data visualization is used in two ways in data analysis: 1) Communicating data insights. 2) Guiding analysis and spotting data issues. While modern courses and books focus on the first, it's the second - exploratory data analysis - that is more important and harder to teach.
