Marisa Loach - 2nd year PhD student at The Open University, and indeed she received her BSc from The Open University as well!
Marisa Loach leading the single cell training and highlighting our favourite reasons for reusing public data!
Followed by an incredible talk from this brilliant user turned contributor who found Galaxy 2 years ago and refuses to leave!
Way to go Julia!!!! Enabling users to use buttons and slowly move into coding environments! Bridge that gap!

Morgan Howells, soon-to-be Open University computer science graduate, presenting his amazing journey through learning biology to addressing user needs and enabling public data reuse for single cell biologists.
Way to go Morgan!

Had to reschedule/cancel 2 group meetings lately, so ran a poll for my busy 2nd years on their feelings on our group meetings.
I would like to be able to submit stuff like this for promotion criteria, rather than "supervised x numbers of students to completion"
I made students feel inspired and supported. I told them to take breaks when I saw them over-doing it. I make targeted, innovative and interactive team meetings rather than repetitive project presentations.
That should be what matters
A gift from the group's first member (other than me!)
Yep, we're the matching mugs group
In 2024, we move onto t-shirts

User story: Where Galaxy meets medicinal chemistry
As a medicinal chemistry student, I undertook a semester project on natural products isolation and derivatisation. One of the compounds my group was working on was piperine, extracted from black pepper. Inspired by literature findings, we found out that the derivatives of piperine can inhibit monoamine oxidase-B and thus can be possibly used in Parkinson’s disease. As a novelty element in our project, we came up with new structures of derivatives that could act as inhibitors.
In a world of actual relentless competition
One of my fav things is entirely trivial and often untrue science banter
"We've done great things since we divorced from transcriptomics, those guys were totes holding us back"
It's like judging a title wherein they missed a pun opportunity
Entirely unnecessary and totally joyous
