The Irish Computational Biology and Genomics Symposium is back!! ๐ Join us once again at the University of Galway on the 4th-5th of December 2023 for another great conference. More details to follow soon! #ICBG2023
#DNADay2021 fun fact:
The length of DNA per human cell is 2m. On average, humans have about 30 trillion cells.
If we extract DNA from all human cells, it will be approx. 30 billion kilometers long, which is about 200 times
the distance between Earth and Sun.

The @H3ABioNet#IBT2020 course wrapped up today: 49 classrooms in 16 countries and >1000 participants. Well done to the IBT team (esp. Verena, Paballo, Shaun) for ensuring it could still run amid the COVID challenges and with support from 56 staff across the classrooms!
Iโm passionate about representation in Clinical psychology. Me and my friend created a LinkedIn group for aspiring clinical psychologists of Black, Asian and Mixed heritage. Iโd appreciate any retweets ๐- https://t.co/Bln4NeJbdh

Will you join @metishewyilma
today for #ODLive?
Itโs less than 3 hours to go!
Metiโs career spans over 20 years in broadcast & print media, events, as well as with local and international institutions both in business and development sectors.
Donโt miss out - come ready!
This provides a great opportunity for scientists and students who have never had ISMB in their reach for financial reasons to now be able to attend. @H3ABioNet hopes to facilitate attendance by its members.
Invitation to join H3ABIONET April 2020 Webinar - "Creating and using genome graphs with GenGraph", the talk will be provided on the 22nd of April 2020 at 3 PM CAT, by Dr Jon Ambler (@Jambler24), a Bioinformatician, based at CIDRI-Africa (@CIDRI_Africa) https://t.co/yv3V411GjX
Itโs draining being a woman in STEM. I dedicated time outside my full-time job to research African American inventors, write a script, film, edit & write subtitles to increase accessibility...Only for someone to leave a comment about my tits. Like whatโs the point of even trying?
@AcademicChatter It hurts (with denial and disappointment). I make myself think, โtheyโre missing out on meโ. I put myself together and send in another application (pushing harder)
Opportunity alert: The Sydney Brenner Institute for Molecular Bioscience (@SBIMB1) at the University of the Witwatersrand @WitsUniversity are recruiting for doctoral and Postdoctoral fellows. Please see below for more:
