I’ve been rewriting some of my scripts into Nextflow pipelines 🚀 If you’re new to Nextflow or looking for a great reference, I highly recommend training.nextflow.io. The tutorials are packed with valuable tips to help improve your Nextflow scripts. #Nextflow #Bioinformatics #CodingTips

Is there a database out there of bioinformatics/biological data science jobs at the entry level? Would be helpful for advising students interested non-academic careers without a graduate degree. #bioinformatics #datascience #iknowhashtagsarentathingherebutwhatever
