BWIB x BCBB Lightning Talks, sponsored by Seqera
Lightning Talks are back! Sponsored by Seqera, the company behind Nextflow, Boston Women in Bioinformatics and Boston Computational Biology & Bioinformatics are teaming up again for an evening of fast, fun, community-driven talks. This is a low-stakes, high-energy format built for sharing ideas with people who get it.
What's a Lightning Talk?
Five minutes. That's it. Talk about your current work, a tool you love, something you learned the hard way, or a concept you think more people should know about. It's a great excuse to practice public speaking in a room full of friendly faces.
How to Submit
Please submit your talk title and a short abstract (280 characters max) to this google form. The deadline is Monday June 1st.
A few ground rules:
All are welcome to submit: academia, industry, government, nonprofit, student. If you're part of this community, this event is for you.
We're here for the science and the ideas, not product pitches. If your work involves a specific platform, that's fine as long as the focus stays on what you discovered, not what you're selling.
Talks are strictly 5 minutes, enforced by audience participation and whatever noisemakers the organizers feel like bringing.
Submission decisions will be Monday, June 15th.
