The African Society for Bioinformatics and Computational Biology (ASBCB) is pleased to announce a virtual omics-focused codeathon on October 7-18, 2025. Applications are due July 23, 2025 by midnight 11.59pm CAT. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Still curious, still learning, and still showing up! Looking ahead to new roles after my @outreachy internship with @Bioconductor Got leads or opportunities in open-science, bioinformatics or data curation? Let’s connect. Read about my career paths here: annemariesharp.wordpress.com/2025/07/21/loo…

📣 Calling all non-swimmers, too! 🏞️ We need YOU for our control group! If you haven’t been swimming, your participation is just as important - without non-swimmers, we won’t have a comparator. Help us understand how recreational water exposure impacts public health. 💧

Check out our team's paper on SingleM, a metagenomic taxonomy profiler that doesn't ignore unknown species! doi.org/10.1038/s41587…

Join us ! Open #Postdoc position in my lab (Paris, France), to work on the Role of the Gut #microbiota in Host Cells Energy Metabolism in Health and #IBD see details here 🔽🔽🔽🔽 euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/361342 please RT

🚨We're soon opening 3 postdoctoral positions in #AIDrivenBiology. Seeking biologists (especially microbiology and infection biology), computer scientists, and microscopy developers. Ideal if you're eager to use or develop next-gen tech for cell biology. Get in touch (DM/email)

Another GREAT mentee-mentor meeting! (🤫@Burah__ made an awesome plan after the @outreachy internship)

It's Week 6 of my @outreachy internship with @Bioconductor I wrote a complete beginner's guide to microbiome study curation with BugSigDB - perfect if you've never done curation before! Check it out here: annemariesharp.wordpress.com/2025/07/07/bug… #bugsigdb #outreachy #bioconductor #curation

We’ll be hosting the Bioinformatics Summer Workshop from August 11–15. The workshop is completely free and held 100% online. If you are interested, please go ahead and register: sites.google.com/view/bioinfowo…

AnniZ Lab at Nanyang Technological University is recruiting one PhD student with an interest in AI 👩‍💻& Microbiology 🦠(details at genomiverse.net). If you are interested, please reach out with your CV to [email protected]. Thank you!

Do you work remotely? Being passionate about your work is great!!! But do you remember to rest? I wrote about balancing work and life while working remotely, have a quick read here: annemariesharp.wordpress.com/2025/06/26/bal… #remotework #balance #tech #outreachy #remotejob #bioconductor

I'm glad to now be an academic editor for PLOS Computational Biology @PLOS, expecting to handle 1-2 manuscripts a month. If you're a postdoc in microbial evolutionary genomics / other 'omics interested in review experience, let me know - I will be looking for reviewers!

New version of argNorm! Will be available frombioconda & funcscan in the next few days NCBI genes are now handled in a fundamentally more principled way and this should fix a few corner cases (particularly if data has been run through hARMonization) pypi.org/project/argnor…

💧Swimming in rivers and lakes is great for your mental health. But how does it affect your physical health? If you've swum in the past 2 weeks, we want to hear from you: 👉 bit.ly/freshwater-swi… @WATERSHED_i @RiverActionUK @sascampaigns

Don't miss a new blog post @Burah__ on "Creating an Issue": The first time I heard the phrase, I was genuinely puzzled. A small voice in my head said, “Why are we creating problems for ourselves?” It sounded counterintuitive. burah.hashnode.dev/open-source-vo… @outreachy @Bioconductor

In a new blog post @anne_mariesharp wrote: Even now, I don’t get it right every single time. But I’ve learned that asking, checking and discussing helps build stronger, more accurate curations and better curators. annemariesharp.wordpress.com/2025/06/18/jun… @outreachy @Bioconductor

🚨 SWIMMERS & NON-SWIMMERS WANTED! Take part in a survey about the health risks of freshwater bathing and help inform public health research 🏊‍♀️ Take the survey: bit.ly/freshwater-swi… More about the National Health Snapshot study: ecehh.org/news/health-fr…

If you missed some of the talks from Season 1️⃣, 2️⃣, 3️⃣ OR 4️⃣ you can find most of them on the #MVIF YouTube channel youtube.com/@MicrobiomeVIF… and @cassyniapp platform: cassyni.com/c/mvif/series (🤫 we are preparing Season 5️⃣) See you in September!
