Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (BOSC)

We had a very successful Bioinformatics Open Source Conference (#BOSC2026) in Washington DC in July! This blog post (which includes lots of photos) gives a recap: www.open-bio.org/2026/08/16/2...

Dryad is seeking a Partnership Development Manager to expand the global community of institutions, publishing organization and academic societies. blog.datadryad.org/2026/07/27/n... #publishing #publishingjobs #scholcomm #scholcomms #opendata #openscience #openaccess #openreesarch

Some of the #BOSC2026 organizers with keynote speaker @webmz.bsky.social

What a week at #ISMB2026 in Washington!🇺🇸 Great conversations on @nextflow.io, agentic science, and hearing how teams are approaching bioinformatics at scale.

Big thanks to @seqera.io for sponsoring #BOSC2026, and for the colorful socks! 🍐🧦💚

Don't go over time in @jasonwilliamsny.bsky.social's sessions or he'll deploy the triangle! #BOSC2026

BOSC/Nextflow socks are fun for everyone! @seqera.io #BOSC2026

The Nextflow/BOSC socks donated by #BOSC2026 sponsor @seqera.io were a big hit.

Just presented #morloc at #ismb #bosc! I've been under the rocks for last few months hammering out some very cool new features. I'll share them over the next few belated posts.

Don't miss the closing panel at #BOSC2026 on #OpenSource in the Age of #AI! 4:40pm today at #ISMB2026. More info: www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-...

Eric Green's #BOSC2026 keynote was a fascinating tour of the past, present and future of #Genomics and #GenomicMedicine. #ISMB

So excited to have Eric Green as one of our #BOSC2026 keynote speakers!

Eric Green, in his keynote at #BOSC2026, noted that 1989 was an important year for two reasons. #HumanGenomeProject #Genomics #ISMB2026

Aydan Gasimova talks to @severaltimes.bsky.social by her #BOSC2026 poster

Daniel Puthawala presented "Scalable Representation of Categorical Genomic Variation Using Cat-VRS" at #BOSC2026

Harry Caufield (@severaltimes.bsky.social) presented a #BOSC2026 talk about a knowledge graph registry. Not sure what a knowledge graph is? Harry made an analogy with a subway map (stations == nodes, connections between stations == edges).

Keynote speaker Maryam Zaringhalam (@webmz.bsky.social) discussed how helping scientists make their research more open can help promote public trust of science. #BOSC2026

The #BOSC2026 panel on Policies and strategies for resilient open science is starting at 3:20 PM in Lincoln West - don't miss it! P.S. There will be a giveaway at the end of the panel! 👀 #ISMB2026 @webmz.bsky.social @monimunozto.bsky.social @malloryfreeberg.bsky.social

#BOSC2026 chair @nomiharris.bsky.social with the poster designed by @monimunozto.bsky.social that shows our keynote speakers, panelists, and sponsors (@seqera.io, NIH ODSS, and @datadryad.bsky.social) 🍐

Present a poster or talk at the Global #NextflowSummit this October🎤

📢 Join us for the Policies and Strategies for Resilient Open Science panel at #BOSC2026 (at #ISMB2026) in Washington, D.C.! The #OpenScience landscape faces changes in #funding, federal repository policies, and collaboration dynamics; we will explore active advocacy and structural #resilience. 🧵👇

📢 Join us for the Open Source in the Age of AI panel at #BOSC2026 (part of #ISMB2026)! Is #generativeAI a force multiplier or a challenge to long-term #sustainability? As code generation accelerates, we'll debate attribution, licensing, and scientific integrity in bioinformatics. 🧵 👇

The #OpenSource in the Age of #AI panel will be the second of two panels at #BOSC2026. Find more info, including names and bios of panelists, here: www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-...

We're excited about the great panels that will be part of #BOSC2026! This is the first of two panels. Find more info, including names and bios of panelists, here: www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-...
