Discussions around Training & Workforce Development with fellow Public Health Alliance for Genomic Epidemiology working group members.

Closing out a phenomenal #PHA4GECon with a keynote from Torsten Semmler from the Robert Koch-Institut

We hosted the 2nd Advanced workshop for Bioinformatics workflows between 27th -31st March with 28 participants from Kenya, Uganda, DRC-Congo, Malawi and Nigeria with support from NGS Academy for the Africa Pathogen Genomics Initiative.

Bridging the gap between research and policy at the KEMRI-Wellcome Trust Trust Research Programme. Looking outwards at the end of our #AdvancedTraininginBioinformaticsWorkflows #NGSacademy for the @AfricaPGI

Text might be the most neglected part of #dataviz . We talk a lot about how the right chart type and colors can improve visualizations – but not enough about how to use words well.

At the #CZIOpenSci Tech Showcase, 50+ grantees + partners shared their work, discussing possible solutions and opportunities for collaboration 🤝

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our 2022 #CZIOpenSci meeting! It was great to hear our grantees and partners share and collaborate on how they're advancing technology + building inclusive communities for the future of #OpenScience

Panel about the state of open biomedical data: 'You need to give credit to people who share' #CZIOpenSci

.Harlan Krumholz on academic incentives: 'We are competing against diseases not each other...change the rules so personal incentives align with society's needs' #cziopensci

How do you lower the barrier of entry for wet lab scientists learning bioinformatics? What's the role of #OpenScience software in capacity building for #DiseaseSurveillance ? How do you make training materials #FAIR and provide support? Let's chat #CZIOpenSci showcase: 16:30-17:30

Visiting the home of the late Charles Schulz for the #CZIOpenSci conference! Great discussion with Anelda van der Walt Sanket Verma to kick things off.

Fantastic tips on how to use colors effectively in data visualization! 🎨
