We had a brilliant time at the @nf-co.re Hackathon in Brazil last weekend.🍏 We worked with the local @nextflow.io community on pipeline development, best practices, nf-core/tools, training, and more. Thanks to everyone who took part. We look forward to the next one!👏

Beyond static scheduling: meet the new compute engine for the AI era.✨ Seqera Intelligent Compute continuously learns and improves your @nextflow.io pipelines — no manual tuning, no guesswork on instance types. Stop configuring, start optimizing: same pipeline, half the bill.

Last week, our CEO joined Nebius and leaders from @astrazeneca.com, NVIDIA and Flower AI for a panel on AI in pharma R&D.💊 Key themes: How AI is driving more iterations and better results (not just faster timelines) and reducing reliance on horizontal teams for scientific services.✨

Thrilled to see this official announcement! If the last few months have taught us anything, it’s that advancing AI in the life sciences requires more than just smarter algorithms. It’s about seamlessly integrating those models with the actual tools and daily workflows that scientists rely on.

🚀 Last week, NVIDIA launched BioNeMo Agent Toolkit — tools for agents to accelerate scientific discovery. Alongside Benchling, Databricks, and Snowflake, we're using BioNeMo Agent Toolkit to connect data systems with AI-powered science.✨ Read the press release: hubs.la/Q04nq07t0

It's amazing to see how much Nextflow has grown! When I joined Seqera in 2022, there were multiple places around the world who barely had anyone who had ever run Nextflow. It's a totally different scenario in 2026, and it's so nice to have been on board during this trip! 🤩

When Nextflow was first released, the goal was simple: make scientific workflows reproducible and scalable for everyone. 📈 Nextflow is the gold standard for bioinformatics, bringing control and traceability to the volume and velocity of science.

When conducting peer reviews, I increasingly think about the time & workload demands of my suggestions. If there's a flaw that needs correcting, then it needs requesting. But if I just have a preference, something that I think would 'improve the paper', then do I really need to request it?

🎓 Nextflow Training Week has officially wrapped! 700+ participants joined us across introductory and advanced modules to sharpen their Nextflow skills. Ready to earn your certificate? The quiz is now open and available until May 22!🗓️ Get involved: hubs.la/Q04gP2700
