Bits in Bio Belgium 26.3 - Using AI in Life Sciences - Show & Tell
Hello Bits in Bio Belgium! 👋
Time for another Meetup, this one is a little different: no keynotes, no slide decks about the future of AI. Just practitioners teaching practitioners.
Everyone working in biology is figuring out AI on their own. A workflow that finally clicked. No longer bottlenecked by data scientists. The tool nobody told you about. The trick that saved a week. The thing that looked great and failed completely. Almost none of it gets shared.
So let's share it withint our community. An Meetup with 9 short talks, 9 minutes each, where we share what we learned and make the community grow. A workflow, a demo of something you built, a skill you picked up, an agent harness for science, a mistake worth not repeating. Short, concrete, and useful to the person sitting next to you.
One rule: no product pitches or sales talk.
This evening is for: Computational biologists and bioinformaticians who want to compare notes. Biologists who cannot code, and now find themselves building their own analyses. People in biotech and pharma working out what AI means for their daily work
You can make the difference by spreading the word. 📣 Our mission is to bring together the brightest minds in tech and biotech, so bring your peers and acquaintances from either world. Let the ideas collide, and find novel paths forward. Hope to see many of you again!
