Travels. Tweets. Photos

Brisbane. Montreal. San Francisco

Forthcoming travels and non-travels

1. (non-travel) I will be at the ASM meeting in Brisbane. I present on July 4, on Small proteins of the global microbiome with a focus on antimicrobial peptides (but, obviously, I will be in town for the whole event)

2. (travel) I will go to ISMB2024 in Montreal (July 12-18), followed by the Quest for Orthologs meeting.

3. (travel) On the way home, I will spend a few days in San Francisco (July 19-23). I’m looking to meet people who are interested in chatting science, progress, good food, weird art, whatever ideas you have…

4. (non-travel) I will be co-teaching a 1 week course on state-of-the-art bioinformatic approaches to analyze metagenomic data (Nov 11-15)

Get in touch if you want to get together at any of these and grab a coffee…

Links of the week

1. Markets in everything, more people are actors than you’d think

2. A combination of Britain’s half-hearted metrification and lack of technology/lax standards leads to frequent occurrences of trucks hitting bridges.

3. (day job link) Season 2 of #ExtremelyOpenScience started last week!
