With a year of preparation and two years of thinking, on September 1st 2024 the Department of Bioinformatics, aka BiGCaT, merged with two other departments to form the Department of Translational Genomics (see also this LinkedIn announcement). This merger creates many new opportunities while it strenghtens our bioinformatics research.

What I do remember is that I got a comment around the same time along the lines of this: “why would anyone cite your article if they can download the results for free?” (about open science cheminformatics research). Other times.

I’ve been blogging about genetics, statistics, computational biology, data science, and science in general for over 15 years. I published my first blog post on Getting Genetics Done in 2009, and started this blog last year after taking a few years off. Science blogging has significantly contributed to my personal and professional growth as a scientist. Writing takes time and effort — time I could have spent elsewhere.
