Paul-André Melliès has been invited as Plenary Speaker at the Logic Colloquium 2024 which will be held 24–28 June at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. 👏
🗣️ He will speak about his work on higher-order automata and profinite lambda-calculus developed at IRIF in collaboration with Sam van Gool and Vincent Moreau.
With an ever increasing amount of research data available, it becomes constantly more important to possess data literacy skills to benefit from this valuable resource. An integrative course was developed to teach students the fundamentals of data literacy through an engaging genome sequencing project. Each cohort of students performed planning of the experiment, DNA extraction, nanopore sequencing, genome sequence assembly, prediction of genes in the assembled sequence, and assignment of functional annotation terms to predicted genes. Students learned how to communicate science through writing a protocol in the form of a scientific paper, providing comments during a peer-review process, and presenting their findings as part of an international symposium. Many students enjoyed the opportunity to own a project and to work towards a meaningful objective.
