I've updated a 10 year old #genomics blog post:

Welcome to the JABBA menagerie: a collection of animal-themed, bogus #bioinformatics names…that have nothing to do with animals!

Now added: QUOKKA, VIPER, and WASP.

I'm now only missing animal representatives for the letters L, K, N, X, and Y (X is likely to be tricky...Xenopus I guess could be an option?).

🧠 de.NBI Strategy World Café – done!

Our PIs came together in Frankfurt yesterday to shape the future of de.NBI – discussing our draft strategy across 8 thematic tables. Exactly the critical, constructive input a strategy process needs.

Thanks to all PIs, to Irena Maus for organizing, and to Berinfor for accompanying the process. The feedback is now with our writing team. Watch this space. 🔜
