S3.02: How to Make the Most of a Bioinformatic Conference. A chat with Michelle Brazas
What does it take to build a good networking experience at a Bioinformatics conference?
In this episode, we sit down with Michelle Brazas, Scientific Director of Bioinformatics.ca, to explore her journey into leadership and her role in shaping bioinformatics training in Canada and beyond.
We dive into the vision behind the Canadian Bioinformatics Hub Conference (CBHC), which is taking place on May 27-27 in Toronto, Canada, what makes it unique, and why it’s designed for students and early-career researchers.
Michelle also shares practical advice on preparing for conferences, the key skills bioinformatics students should prioritize today, and the most common networking mistakes and how to avoid them.
