From a genomics layperson with decent dev skills:
A. What are the broad and medium goals you work on?
B. What are your daily activities? How do they fir into (A)?
C. What does nonprofit genomics vs for profit look like from a revenue standpoint?
D. What specific technologies/stacks are you using?
E. The CRUD frontend+backend+database to serve users (and sell ads) is pretty ubiquitous in 'tech', with some branches. How does your field compare?
- jefftk 4y agoA: The goal of my current project is to identify novel pandemics, even if they're caused by something we've never seen before, most likely by looking at growth patterns. At a broader scale, I'm trying to learn enough about working in this field that I'll be able to contribute on whatever future projects seem most appropriately important to me. B: unlike my previous work, I'm back to being an individual contributor. Very few meetings, mostly coding and analysis. Current thing is trying to understand what drives per-sample variability in wastewater sequencing data. C. Our group is currently philanthropically funded, and is focused on determining whether/how this is possible/practical. D. I'm mostly working in (bio)python, with a few bits written in C and gluing things together with bash. E. I was most recently working on (a) JS infrastructure to fetch and render ads and (b) working with browsers on platform features that would improve privacy, security, and efficiency.
