Rather a long hiatus in posting here. What have I been doing? I've been involved in Bioinformatics Training for over the last 3 years. First at the Institute of Food Research (Now known as the Quadram Institute) and now at Cancer Research UK's Cambridge Institute.
Bioinformatics is a really excellent example of a STEM-based career. Firstly as we are dealing with living organisms, it involves biological understanding. The sequencing technologies involve a lot of state of the art engineering micro-fluidics, flow-cells and discoveries like the Oxford Nanopore.
The sheer amount of data requires considerable IT resources (Programming, Storage, Clusters) to analyse along with a wealth of techniques from Mathematics and Statistics.

Galaxy Community Conference 2015 - Norwich (4-8 July)
The 2015 Galaxy Community Conference (GCC2015, http://gcc2015.tsl.ac.uk/)
is being held at the Sainsbury Lab in Norwich, United Kingdom, 4-8 July.
GCC2015 is an opportunity to meet with 200+ others working at the forefront
data-intensive biomedical research. The 2015 edition of GCC includes more
than ever before (http://gcc2015.tsl.ac.uk/
- Coding and Data Wrangling Hackathons (and a colocated BioJS Hackathon
too)
- Two days of training offering 18 sessions on 15 topics in up to 5
parallel tracks, covering topics ranging from analysis to administration to
tool development.
- A two day meeting featuring accepted talks, poster presentations,
keynote talks, vendor exhibits, lightning talks, birds-of-a-feather
meetups, and plenty of networking.
Early registration is now open (but closes Friday, 22 May, *which is this
Friday)*. Registering early saves you 40%. Registering now ensures you'll
get a spot in the hackathon and training sessions of your choice.
Galaxy is a data integration and analysis platform for the life sciences.
It is an open source project and is available for free on the web, for
local, and installs, and on cloud infrastructures. It is deployed around
the world, and used for research across the tree of life. See
http://galaxyproject.org/ for more.
Finally, there are also many other events going on before and after
GCC2015, and GCC itself ends right before ISMB / ECCB starts in Dublin.
See https://wiki.galaxyproject.
Hope to see you in Norwich!
