• hybrid is leitmotif today- mixed audience in terms of background- speakers• 2 PhD students, 4 postdocs, 2 professors• metagenomics, epigenetics, functional genomics,

proteomics, systems biology• commercial tools vs. open source

• bio-informatics- use informatics to solve biological problems- none of the speakers is a trained bio-informatician

“don’t be afraid to start, just dig in”
