There's a lot to like in here. We've been involved in providing data analysis / AI training for life scientists for quite some time, but there's a lack of incentives for them to continue with ongoing training beyond stand-alone workshops.
Proposed Areas for Action
4.1 Incentivise AI Training and Data Literacy for Life Scientists
As the life sciences become increasingly data-driven, it is essential to provide training 
incentives for life scientists, particularly those without extensive computational 
skills. Tailored programmes should be rapidly developed to upskill researchers in data 
science and AI tools to help them effectively navigate complex biological datasets. 
Simplified, user-friendly interfaces for supercomputers and AI Factories should also be 
developed to make these tools more accessible to the broader life science community, and 
allow for more researchers to leverage AI in their work.

Bioimaging and bioimage analysis friends, some help if you have 2-3 mins; for a paper, we're trying to estimate the number of biologists trained in open source software or tools in the last ~5 years. (1/2) #bioimaging #microscopy #bioimageanalysis
