Webinar: How Do You Know If It Is Time To Change Your Bioinformatics Software
Bioinformatics leaders always want to know if they have the right solution for their organization. There are 12 essential factors to evaluate to determine if change is needed. This webinar will explore those 12 factors and provide practical advice [...]
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 [...]
10 Criteria for Extraordinary Bioinformatics
Now more than ever, bioinformatics analysis is crucial for the success of almost any life science research program How do you take the right approach for your question and your data? Do you: Choose the approach or software [...]
Evaluation Criteria for Extraordinary Bioinformatics
We’re conducting a 7-minute survey to better understand how life scientists are approaching their data analysis. To show our appreciation, those who successfully complete it will be entered to win a pair of wireless earbuds (your choice of AirPods or [...]
