Hello Friends!
In today's video we're talking about how do actually attempt to make this transition? Whether you're starting your first project by choice, or you've been forced by your uni to pick it up - you must watch this video for the 4 essential things to do before starting any bioinformatics project!
Welcome to Genomics with Georgia! I'm a self taught data scientist with simply an undergrad in biology who transitioned from wet lab to dry lab during the pandemic. After sharing my career start on LinkedIn I've had lots of people reach out wanting more information on how to learn to code as a biologist and all things genomic data science. So here we are: Georgia is using this platform to share all she's learnt, the resources she's found and hopefully inspire people to pursue this awesome path.
