@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

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

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/

NorthernBUG 10

A network of users or bioinformatics services in the north of England. Inspired by NextGenBUG, we hold meetings three times a year to build a community of researchers and others using big data in biology. We are supported by The Genetics Society as a Special Interest Group.

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. 🧫 👩‍💻

Computers and labs go hand in hand

Shuba Varshini studied bioinformatics and biotechnology. We asked her what being a bioinformatician entails and how you can gain a foothold in the field.
