Congratulations to all presenters, it was a great display of posters with so many projects and tools and collaborations across SIB groups, very hard to choose the top 3!

For the record, the blueprint of our Blocksford Blocksford Brickopore Technologies sequencer can be found at brickopore.co.uk and our improved code is hosted at github.com/MrTomRod/brick…. Many thanks to Zac and Lea Taylor as well as Heidi Tschanz-Lischer for their input!

Just updated our Events page with some pictures/tweets from brickopore users around the world. Great to see all this passion for science communication using Lego Mindstorms. LEGO See brickopore.co.uk/events/

I plan to have a weekly highlight of a course on #Glittr. This week: 'Computational Genomics with R' from Altuna Akalin. An insanely comprehensive book with everything you need if you're doing #genomics and #bioinformatics analysis with #rstats. Link: tinyurl.com/4jrmwz53

Our group Universität Bern 🇨🇭🏔 ⛷ is expanding and we're looking for a #bioinformatician 🧬 and #sysadmin 🖥️ If you want to work in a great team on a wide range of scientific projects 🤓, check out these positions: tinyurl.com/e2bp4ua4 tinyurl.com/ba47m63v #jobsearch

For best results, always start with high quality clean DNA 🧬
