Science Storytelling Done Backwards
In a previous post, I wrote about the importance of storytelling in science. This is the other side of the story, the darker side of storytelling, where you decide the story in advance rather than letting your data guide it. [...]
Extraordinary software saves, not wastes your time
It's such a familiar scenario: you sit with the scientist or a collaborator to understand their research question, perform the analysis, and present your results. Then, a week later, you get an email asking for a whole new analysis of [...]
Storytelling is an essential component of Extraordinary Bioinformatics
Whether we like it or not, we, as scientists, are judged based on our communication skills. Tenure committees, academic hiring teams, award panels: they all pour over our papers, scoring us on both the number of papers and [...]
