Charlotte Bourbon@charlottebrbn.bsky.social · last yr.Had a great time at the BioNet conference in Calgary! I was excited to share part of my PhD project on the caribou gut microbiome 🦠. It was a pleasure connecting with folks in genomics, metagenomics, and bioinformatics :) thanks for the great discussions! @bionetcanada.bsky.social
A sincere thank you to all participants for contributing to an engaging and inspiring #BioNet2025. We look forward to seeing you again next year at #BioNet2026 #bioinformatics #omics @zovoilislab.bsky.social

“80% of data analysis is cleaning and prep.” Let’s make that 80% easier. R for Data Wrangling is a 3-day, in-person workshop that helps intermediate R users reshape, clean, and prepare messy data for meaningful analysis. If you’ve got the R basics, this is your next move. 👉 bit.ly/R4DW-May-2025
I had the opportunity to be a plenary speaker at #BioNET2025 on the topic of ethical and inclusive AI. It is a challenging topic but the audience was asking great questions and provided some great insights in return.
