What invisible magic 🪄 keeps Biotech running? @nextflow.io! Without , a global community of pipeline builders, 99% of #genomics research would be stalled by reinventing the wheel. Write-up of the super fun #Nextflow Summit hosted by @seqera.io in Boston! open.substack.com/pub/seanome/...

@olgabot.bsky.social, CEO & Founder at @seanome.bsky.social, just gave an insightful talk on her vision to create the best protein annotator for any organism using @nf-co.re, supporting efforts to better understand global biodiversity through large-scale sequencing. 🌍🧬

Grateful to share progress on @seanome.bsky.social's open-source software for unlocking the breakthrough potential of 43 billion ocean animal genes with the talented researchers at @stanford.edu University's Center for Computational, Evolutionary and Human Genomics (CEHG)!

Had so much fun on the Nextflow podcast! Great reminiscing about the early days of #nfcore and talking about how we're building the best #protein annotator for #biodiversity at @seanome.bsky.social

Really happy to get stuck in to the #Nextflow #Podcast again for 2025! 🎙️🎉 First episode is with @olgabot.bsky.social, we chat about just how little we really know about proteins out in the natural environment. See below for links + writeup + transcript, listen on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts 🎧

#Academic friends, what's the current best practices for writing openly available papers? Is Manubot (manubot.org) still the best thing? Living Papers (idl.uw.edu/living-paper...) looks cool but seems fairly new and untested

💪 Career milestone achieved: First podcast appearance! So grateful to Rob Kalwarowsky for the opportunity to share my vision of @seanome.bsky.social as building open genomics tools to unlock access to 43 billion molecular solutions from #ocean #biodiversity when we've only catalogued 8,000 🤯

Seanome's first conference #PAG32 is in the books! We dove into #genome annotation, #biodiversity #sequencing, and feeding the world. Our founder + CEO @olgabot.bsky.social presented a talk and poster on annotating proteins of unknown function. Catch the recap here! buff.ly/3CfKxYY

Had so much fun learning about bird genomics, what the "RIO" movie got right, and how mammals have model organism #privilege (haha) from Taylor Haines (UChicago/Field Museum) at @nanoporetech.com's ORG.one session #PAG32

Loved this awesome talk by Daniel Chaves about biodiversity and conservation genomics in Ecuador (performed *in-country* -- providing opportunities for local scientists) with @nanoporetech.com's ORG.one program at #PAG32! Here are some photos

The 3 hardest things to learn as a scientist: 1. Trust the data, even when it’s not what you expected, 2. Trust the data, allowing it to change your direction, 3. Trust the data, but not too much: test with new data at every turn.

Knowing how to give a good talk is a crucial skill to have, but it's mostly not formally taught very well. Here's my strategy for how to prepare for the presentation, actually present it, and then answer the questions.

I'm crabby today but I wish we could have a little less pearl-clutching over "the children are citing AI hallucinations" and a little more over "tenured academics are citing documents that cite documents that cite documents that cite documents that don't support their claims."

What #AI tools are people using for taking notes during a meeting? Looking for something compatible with Google Workspace because Zoom is getting too bloated (no, I'm not going to use your docs)
