Don't go over time in @jasonwilliamsny.bsky.social's sessions or he'll deploy the triangle! #BOSC2026
Don't miss the closing panel at #BOSC2026 on #OpenSource in the Age of #AI! 4:40pm today at #ISMB2026. More info: www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-...
Eric Green's #BOSC2026 keynote was a fascinating tour of the past, present and future of #Genomics and #GenomicMedicine. #ISMB
Eric Green, in his keynote at #BOSC2026, noted that 1989 was an important year for two reasons. #HumanGenomeProject #Genomics #ISMB2026
Keynote speaker Maryam Zaringhalam (@webmz.bsky.social) discussed how helping scientists make their research more open can help promote public trust of science. #BOSC2026
Harry Caufield (@severaltimes.bsky.social) presented a #BOSC2026 talk about a knowledge graph registry. Not sure what a knowledge graph is? Harry made an analogy with a subway map (stations == nodes, connections between stations == edges).

#BOSC2026 has begun! Our first session at #ISMB2026 is a joint session with @bokr.bsky.social. In his talk about KGXVal, Daniel Korn addressed something many of us have wondered about: why do turkeys have math anxiety? 🦃➗😰
#BOSC2026 organizers @nomiharris.bsky.social, @monimunozto.bsky.social, and @jasonwilliamsny.bsky.social based in the turquoise glow during the opening keynote at #ISMB2026
