I recently gave a talk at the Bio-Pitch event at the French-Japanese institute. I was fortunate to be able to speak about some of the ideas I’ve been developing here among so many interesting projects (MetaPhorest, HTGAA, Yoko Shimizu, Tupac Bio, Bento Lab etc).
The topic of my talk was “Is bioinformatics possible”? A deliberate provocation, since of course many people including myself work with this every day. I simply mean to suggest that there are intrinsic problems in the field that are not usually discussed or thought about, and that it might be valuable to confront those problems.
The slides are available, if anyone is interested.
The bigger topic that is hinted at, but not discussed, might be the instrumental relationship of humans to nature. I hope to return to this problem soon.
