Open conversation with Tommy Tang in the The Bioinformatics Lab podcast
Abstract
Open conversation covering bioinformatics career development, single-cell genomics, open science, and computational biology in the pharmaceutical industry. Discusses practical tips for learning bioinformatics, building a public presence through blogging and social media, and navigating career transitions.
Storytelling is a superpower. And 🎯 Ming “Tommy” Tang has it.
He’s been a prolific name in hashtag#bioinformatics, stemming from his early days spent documenting his journey into the field through his personal blog ( https://divingintogeneticsandgenomics.com/). And it was an absolute pleasure having him on the Bioinformatics Lab Podcast.
In our episode, we cover scientific communication, foundational skills required in bioinformatics, our transitions from from wet lab to dry lab, in-person v. remote work environments, startup v. larger company dynamics, the impact of AI for both developers and analysts, and some of the underpinnings of Tommy’s optimistic and resilient worldview.
