Next Steps🚲

With the launch of this website, this project is beginning a dissemination phase where we seek community feedback on The Principles and initial recommendations. Here are our next set of goals for the 3rd and 4th quarter of 2022.

• Launch this website, create community discussion, and build relationships with a diverse and global community interested in improving short-format training.
• Hold dissemination talks and webinars to spark conversation and feedback.
• Talks:
  • ISMB Meeting Bioinformatics Open Source Conference/Education COSI Keynote, July 2022, video.
  • Keynote, Southwest Developmental Biology Conference, November 2022
  • Keynote, November 2022, Australian Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Society
• Dissemination webinars:
  • LifeSciTrainers.org Community Call, September 2022, video
  • ELIXIR Training Coordination Group: October, 2022
  • Australian BioCommons/Melbourne Bioinformatics Webinar, November 2022 video
