Instead of making our own "day in the life of a bioinformatician" video, we used AI to do it for us, and the results made Maria laugh so hard she cried 😂

💻 Just released a new tutorial: How to write a Bash script, featuring an IDE and a command-line running directly in your browser. No setup required.

I always found that my resume doesn't do my experience justice, so a portfolio website can be a great visual way to show hiring managers all the good stuff I want them to see.
I turned it into a GitHub template that you can copy for free: youtube.com/watch?v=KTRmfX…
📢 Excited to share new features on sandbox.bio:
- Python playground to quickly test code
- Customize how much RAM the command-line can use: 512MB, 1GB, 2GB (previously fixed at 1GB)
- Confetti animations when you finish a tutorial 🙃
🦠 New tutorial on sandbox.bio: Learn to build phylogenetic trees from viral sequences, going from multiple sequence alignment to tree generation and rooting 🧬 💻

We always tell people to create a portfolio to showcase their work. Today, we're releasing a template to get you started: github.com/omgenomics/por…
It's for scientists and engineers who want a living resume of projects, work timelines, and blog posts that demonstrate expertise.
In 2024, sandbox.bio had >170,000 tutorial page views! 🥳
The most popular tutorials were:
1. Terminal basics
2. Genomic intervals with bedtools
3. Terminal exercises
4. Data exploration with awk
5. DNA sequencing QC
Check them out here: sandbox.bio/tutorials
📢 Our first bioinformatics office hours were a lot of fun, so we will be hosting more of them this year! We will also invite special guests to co-host 👀

Good evening. I have a huge amount of fraud, waste, and abuse on my iPhone, so I’ve decided to specifically focus on eliminating “system data,” which represents less than 1% of “waste” and will cause crippling long-term effects
We are hosting free bioinformatics office hours on Feb 19th at 10am-noon PST. Bring your bioinformatics career or technical questions, and @RobAboukhalil and I will try to answer them.
Sign up here: tally.so/r/mOb6dM
Please share especially with early career scientists!
