The stakes are HIGH in the 1st ever #dance competition part of @eventsWCS #CanGenAnalysis23! Participants (& instructors/coreographers) will need to plan a dance routine while undertaking their mutation calling/signatures/gene drivers project. Multitasking & team-working skills!

How better to conclude a Train the Trainer project than with a networking meeting to foster a community of practice? This platform enables new trainers to exchange experiences and provide mutual support in their training endeavours. @thecgps @eventsWCS @UKRI_News
