hi, since I left the Zoom relatively early I forgot to ask... is it a go for BioRender? did you guys like it for informative material creation?

@teresa-m

We did not talk about it jet. I can put it on the list of topics for next week. I think Masako tried it and liked it.

We can discusse it next meeting

My Naked Scientists experience – specifically the sausage DNA sequencing - has come in very useful in my new role as a Postdoctoral Researcher for the 4273pi Bioinformatics Education project at the University of Edinburgh. The aim of our project is to create and deliver educational workshops for Scottish secondary school pupils that promote an understanding of bioinformatics and its relevance to the curriculum and beyond (e.g. health, food safety, scientific computing and Big Data).

Recently, I designed a workshop for biology pupils using the DNA sequences we found in the pork sausage. Pupils use a publicly-available DNA database and free online search software to discover that the sausage contains plenty of pig DNA (as one would expect in a pork sausage!) but also traces of lamb, chicken, cattle and human DNA. The human DNA is initially extremely surprising, but on reflection tiny traces are expected. Human DNA is found wherever there are humans. Humans made the sausage and prepared DNA samples from that sausage.

I tasted our beer today and it was very delicious 😋 but half of it was wasted because it flooded over when I opened the bottle :(

Melanie C. Föll

@foellmelanie

Indeed the beer was super delicious, you all did a great job, thank you again!!! Hopefully I am able to join the next time for brewing and drinking :)

@teresa-m

Hi All, is someone joining the meeting today?

teresa-m

@teresa-m

Dear All, because we got the money from the university for the Reziproke wissenschaftstransfer we are able to hire a Hiwi.
We want to advertise the position with the teaching sessions with a slide. If you have a hint or would like to help per feel free. :-)

@erxleben

I will send it to the students of all our courses as well via Hisinone, if desired?

teresa-m

@teresa-m

Ohh thanks a lot Bea! :-)

@erxleben: I am not sure if the teaching people did advertice it already to there students. Will try to find out and maybe than we can should sent to the once that where not ask jet?

Yeah, but could the algorithm handle a penalty shootout?

No no, this is a FP. I would like to watch a few more games. ;-)
