Our Software Engineering Panel explored pertinent questions for modern research and teaching. Is research code overvalued? How much coding do biologists really need to know given ChatGPT?
To find the answer, come to #CompBioGlasgow and discuss with the UK's brightest minds.

Last week we hosted the 2nd CompBio Hackathon! Participants picked one of 4 projects before implementing solutions across 3 days. It was great to see those interdisciplinary collaborations! Thanks to the Centre for Data Science and AI, @uofglasgow.bsky.social and MVLS NERD for providing the funding.
