We are very excited to receive your abstracts for the #BOSSCon2022 coming up this April 26th-29th. Abstracts on #OpenScience #Opensource #genomics #Bioinformatics #community are welcome. Find link on the website: bosscon2022.bhki.org. #BOSSEvents OpenScienceKE

Are you passionate about Bioinformatics, Genomics or Open Science? The #BOSSCon2022 blends these topics to showcase reproducible and collaborative bioinformatics projects.

We invite abstracts on ideas, ongoing work, published work or oven though pieces. We are curious to hear about your experience of doing research in the global south, how you ventured to non-traditional research or scientific career, or how you are creating change in the community

Submit your abstract now: bosscon2022.bhki.org/submit/

Submissions are open for the #BOSSCon2022. We welcome original contributions, research proposals, thought pieces, and round-table discussions. Topics include #Genomics #OpenScience #OneHealth and more. Check out our website for more details and register: bosscon2022.bhki.org

The OBF Event Fellowship is closing 1st April. We invite applications from open science enthusiasts, especially underrepresented groups, who would like to host or attend an event that centralises available science and bioinformatics. For example, an H3ABioNet Human Heredity and Health in Africa meeting.

Did you miss our March webinar, provided by Dr Caleb kibet, a bioinformatician at icipe & teaches #Bioinformatics at Pwani University titled "How H3ABioNet leverages #openscience for sustained impact" we recorded the webinar ⬇️ Recording: youtube.com/watch?v=eEXufT…  #openData #OpenAccess

🔴First of Her Name from University of Nairobi brings to the virtual dialogue the African perspectives on #OpenScience "The Association of African Universities is really pushing for the increase of open science mandates" Follow it live here: fb.watch/ceGjqY2A83/

I and Malvika Sharan had a short chat about reproducible research. Check out the recording for an introduction to The Turing Way is on Fosstodon and Bluesky and openlifescience: youtu.be/GMwRyAwnlEk

After the Awards ceremony, I asked the awardees what their greatest lesson from the #CapDevChallenge pitching contest was….here are some of their responses:

#opportunity, free bioinformatics training in coming up in May. On location in Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Zambia and Nigeria

FAIR is not a rule, it’s an evolving principle. Dr. Sara El-Gebali 🦥 [email protected] taking our participants through RDM. The hope is to inspire a conversation on data management in our institutions and the policies surrounding RDM. #BOSSCon2022

An amazing talk from Dr. Sara El-Gebali 🦥 [email protected]. It’s never enough to hear about how we can make our data #FAIR and ensure that research is ongoing.

We are in session 3 of the day. Getting our hands dirty with GitLab pages for presentations and portfolios with Benson Muite. Exciting learning opportunity. #BOSSCon2022

Attending the #BOSSCon2022 organized by OpenScienceKE and Bioinformatics Hub of Kenya. Amazing incites on the reproducibility of research data.

Join our Director First of Her Name at #BOSSCon2022 , hosted by Bioinformatics Hub of Kenya , OpenScienceKE & Code for Science & Society as she talks about , how TCC Africa & her partners are increasing equitable participation in #OpenScience #ResearchCapacity and advocacy on #OpenScience in #Africa

EpiCass and CassavaNet4Dev present a 3-day bioinformatics hand-on course in NGS data analysis and a one-day mini-symposium on “Epigenetics and Crop Improvement”. Register here: bit.ly/366unAR before April 29th.IITA @_SLU
