The laptops are closing, but the ideas will keep going. It's been a privilege to spend the last few days with such a collaborative and enthusiastic community at the Cambridge - Antwerp Hackathon 2026. Great discussions, great projects, and hopefully the start of many lasting collaborations.

Looking forward to seeing how these projects evolve as we head into the final day of the Cambridge-Antwerp Bioinformatics Hackathon 2026. #BioHack2026 #Bioinformatics #ComputationalBiology #OpenScience #DataScience #Collaboration #Cambridge #Antwerp

The atmosphere today is a great reminder that innovation rarely happens in isolation. It thrives when talented people share knowledge, challenge assumptions, and work towards a common goal.

100

Over the last 24 hours, we've seen students, researchers, developers, experts, bioinformaticians and data scientists pooling their expertise, learning from one another, and building solutions that would be difficult to create alone.

100

One of the most rewarding aspects of a hackathon is seeing people from different backgrounds come together around shared challenges.

Day 2 of the Cambridge-Antwerp Bioinformatics Hackathon 2026 The energy is still high, the coffee supply is holding steady (once we got the door open!), and ideas that started as conversations yesterday are rapidly turning into code, analyses, and new collaborations. #BioHack2026

Wishing all participants an inspiring and productive event. I'm looking forward to seeing the projects, partnerships and discoveries that emerge over the coming days. #BioHack2026 #Bioinformatics #ComputationalBiology #DataScience #OpenScience #ResearchSoftware #Cambridge #Collaboration #Hackathon

There's something special about bringing passionate people into the same room, laptops open, ideas flowing and code being written. Whether exploring data, or building collaborations that last beyond the event, hackathons remind us what can be achieved when expertise and curiosity meet. 2/

Your sequencing cost tens of thousands. Your bioinformatics training costs a fraction of that. If you don’t fully understand your analysis, you’re risking the bigger investment. Invest a little. Gain a lot. Do your data justice. #Bioinformatics #Training #Data @babrahaminst.bsky.social

“Interesting, but what does this tell us biologically?”. If that sounds like a reviewer comment you’ve had (or fear), it might not be your experiment that’s the problem — it might be interpretation. That’s a skill you can learn. @babraham-bioinf.bsky.social #Training #Skills #Bioinformatics
