Luke Pembleton<p>Cloud computing: where you're not just a bioinformatician, you’re also the finance manager, compliance officer, and IT support, all while carrying a hefty dose of mental fatigue. I miss those PhD days with a inhouse HPC when all you had to do was sbatch every parameter combo under the sun to test your research question… then complain about queue times and who was clogging the damn cluster with their BLAST jobs 😅<br><a href="https://genomic.social/tags/bioinformatics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bioinformatics</span></a></p>
