This summer, my work with the student branch of the International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) Student Council (SC) took me to Finland. Through the SC, I’ve been lucky to help organise symposia for early-career researchers in bioinformatics and computational biology; spaces where people share ideas, build skills, and grow their networks.
Turku, Finland was a highlight: reconnecting with old friends, meeting new ones, coordinating with brilliant co-organisers, and soaking up a bit of Finnish culture along the way. I’m grateful for this community and energised to keep supporting the next generation of computational biologists!
