IMHO, most fields in biology lack good on ramps when compared to CS. I think part of the reason is that it's way easier to get someone to install Python than to get access to a mass spectrometer. A big factor in me studying Biochemistry in undergrad was that it was way easier to self-teach myself the parts of CS that interested me than it was for Biochemistry, in my estimation.
I'm sorry I don't have a better answer for you, I hope someone else here does!
- maegul 3y agoMy experience in grad school was similar. IMO it decelerates the shift from undergrad to grad work, as you have to overcome the knowledge gulf by immersing yourself in the essentially confusing sea of primary literature. Arguably unnecessary IMO … good material at various levels of expertise makes a lot of sense.
