# Bioinformatics == research

# Bioinformatics == research

... and not just support/collaborations!

"Ten simple rules for providing effective bioinformatics research support", recently posted on Plos Computational Biology https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007531

We've all been there, and we can share our tips to deal with this struggle!

We want to develop both software **and** careers (our own, and these of our trainees/colleagues)

# How this will work

Start here: [`https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1y6pkCBY6yXP4bryqIN3f9ZH32oQ8J7BA?usp=sharing`](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1y6pkCBY6yXP4bryqIN3f9ZH32oQ8J7BA?usp=sharing)

We have collected some initial ideas, mostly based on our previous experiences + Bioc2020 BoF

We are going to take notes in a [GDoc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ybYpu4XO_WdGhUYYkmxabBjpkyMoGQWCWdB-PhsIoMk/edit?usp=sharing) (drop some details on your contact info - email/twitter)

We are more than happy to have you grab the mic!

We set up a channel on Slack to continue the discussion - check out [#bioc2020-bof-10sr](https://join.slack.com/share/zt-ga8fmolw-kay~yiF~mZgz6pzz6R6lBw) in the [Bioconductor](https://community-bioc.slack.com) Slack workspace

We would like to come up with a collaborative manuscript, in a format inspired by the "Ten Simple Rules" series - check out [`https://github.com/drisso/ThrivingInBioinformatics`](https://github.com/drisso/ThrivingInBioinformatics)

We will try to sketch the 10 "directions" in
this set of Google Slides

Gather thoughts and plan next meeting via Slack (+ Airmeet again?)
