Excited to share our new paper: “How to run a language-inclusive international conference”. rdcu.be/fs8cJ At #ICCB2025, we implemented language-accessibility measures to support 1,890 participants from 90 countries/territories, and we showed they worked (see Fig S2)! #languagebarriers 1/5
Types of support provided at ICCB 2025 and types of language barriers that each support aimed to mitigate.Fig S2 shows that the language-accessibility support provided at ICCB 2025 reduced perceived language barriers among non-native English-speaking participants, especially for presentation preparation and networking.

I had a lot of fun doing my poster this year! It's a tribute to the @elixir-europe.org BioHackathon, and is inspired by the @night-science-inst.bsky.social philosophy 🌓 "From a coffee break to EDAM MCP: a BioHackathon success story" doi.org/10.7490/f100... @ifb-elixir-fr.bsky.social
Photo of a conference poster, titled "From a coffee break to EDAM MCP: a BioHackathon success story". Same poster, with additional pictures stuck by conference participants in several areas of the poster depending on the associated topic: technology, science, people, BioHackathon

It's been a little over a week since EuroBioC2026 wrapped up in Turku, Finland. The talks ended. The posters came down. But the conversations continue. Here's a look back at a few faces and moments from the conference. #EuroBioC2026 #Bioconductor

Thank you to everyone who made #EuroBioC2026 possible—our sponsors, organisers, speakers, workshop instructors, volunteers, and attendees. This year's conference was made even more special as it took place during Bioconductor's 25th anniversary year. Here's how it went down 👉 bit.ly/4aaEJOe
Large group photo of EuroBioC2026 participants gathered on the lawn in front of Villa Marjaniemi in Ruissalo, Turku. Attendees are standing and seated on the grass and staircase of the historic yellow wooden villa, surrounded by mature trees under a bright blue sky. A Bioconductor banner is displayed at the centre of the group during the conference dinner and 25th anniversary celebrations.

Besides, she's not afraid to speak her mind. Upon receiving the most prestigious scientific prize in Mexico, she took the opportunity to call out Mexican institutions on the burden of bureaucracy on scientific research, in front of Mexico city's congress :) www.youtube.com/live/F5_xuZB...

Funding barriers
Latin American countries invest significantly less in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) than do high-income countries, so the continent’s researchers have less access to grant opportunities and smaller budgets than they might elsewhere.Unwritten rules
Even when you overcome these issues, the reduced exposure to meetings outside Latin America can result in feelings of unfamiliarity and discomfort when international networking and mentoring opportunities do materialize.Access barriers
Access to literature is usually taken for granted, but most Latin American academic and research institutions can’t cover the exorbitant costs of open-access agreements with the largest academic publishers.Language barriers
Latin American researchers and others from non-English-speaking countries are expected to publish in English, the standard language of science (even in this piece). Yet, it is usually not taught in many schools in our region. Many Latin American researchers cannot access English courses until they have paid positions, which, in turn, are difficult to get without a solid record of scientific publications in English, creating a chicken-and-egg situation.
