Big career announcement!! A few weeks ago I was offered an interview and site visit for a tenure-track Professor of Microbiology position at a dream location. But - I declined! 🌟 Here is why ... (TLDR: enthusiastically saying "No, thank you" to academia) 1/8 @AcademicChatter

Without biodata resources, there is no advance in the life and biomedical sciences. In its 2033 selection, @globalbiodata has announced a further 15 Global Core Biodata Resources, bringing the set up to 52, collectively serving a breadth of domains, data types & user communities.
We’re pleased to announce an additional 15 Global Core Biodata Resources that today join the existing 37, forming an important focus of the GBC’s work with global life science funders towards long-term sustainability.

First day of new position! So thankful to all who helped me with the promotion package, the external reviewers for reading the 55 pages(!) and the @AROM_NTU team and my wider collaboration network as research isn't done alone! Looking forward to even more cool research as an AP.

Delighted we have launched the new Pathogens Portal #pathogensportal, extending beyond COVID-19 to broader disease and pathogens - bringing together data of relevance to infection biology for research and preparedness.
🚨Molecular data for over 200,000 pathogen species and strains are now available in our new Pathogens Portal, launched today.
An indispensable resource for healthcare research, global pandemic surveillance, and food security.

Where do you search for pathogen data? @emblebi’s new Pathogen Portal contains molecular data for over 200,000 pathogen species and strains.
An important resource for pandemic preparedness, healthcare, and food security.

Last few days to apply for this position at the interface of public health genomics and machine learning in fantastic Utrecht
I'm excited to say i'm recruiting for a bioinformatics post-doc (3 yr) for my group at @UniUtrecht.
The project looks to advance precision risk assessment of foodborne pathogens utilising pan-genome graphs and machine learning.
Appreciate a RT!

Guy Cochrane who directs @ENASequence mentioned a dataset arrives every few seconds. That's data richness from sequencing. One can search @NCBI @ENASequence and DDBJ, which are mirrored. And one can search those with controlled access

Data sharing fuels scientific progress by enabling replication of results, facilitating collaboration, and maximising the impact of research.
@metricausa investigates what progress has been made for global biodata sharing and what challenges lie ahead.
