If you are chairing a meeting, and it's not going ahead. You need to tell people and/or take it out of the calendar.
It shouldn't be ME as the participant, always having to follow up if that recurring meeting that no one likes is happening or not.

🚀 Should You Start with Nextflow in 2025?
If you're working in bioinformatics, computational biology, or data science, you've probably seen Nextflow—so the question is: is it still worth adopting now? We recently recorded a three-part debate on this topic. 🎙️
