You know your science. But when its your turn to speak in the boardroom , the interview , the client meeting - do the nerves take over? You are not alone & its fixable! We're hosting an in-person workshop with Joanna Ghayad (PharmD, PCC) on high-stakes communication.

After a year of leading with @boston-wib.bsky.social, building this weird little personal brand, and learning to use every tool available to keep my career moving, I start a new full-time role Monday. The bioinformatics world has been underutilizing me. That changes this week. 🧬 #womenInSTEM

I love writing and I often dabble in amateur poetry. I wrote this poem, which essentially talks about basic Whole Genome Sequencing Analysis. boston-wib.org/blog/quickta... @boston-wib.bsky.social #bioinformatics #computationalbiology #poem #poetry #ngs #wgs

🧬💻 Before you touch any code in a biobank analysis, you need to answer two questions: what's your research question, and who's your audience? My new blog series on the BWIB blog starts there. 🔗 boston-wib.org/blog/biobank...

We solved multi-collaborator genomics data sharing by composing existing tools (IGV), automating format conversion, and deploying via GitHub Actions + AWS (S3 and CloudFront). And minimal authentication with lambda. youtu.be/_qPsqCyFsgg substack.com/home/post/p-... #bioinformatics #genomics

I built an IGV integration for Seqera Studios with automatic track discovery. Spin up a Studio, point it to your Nextflow or nf-core pipeline output, and IGV launches with all compatible files already loaded. 📺 Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWHC...
