Bits in Bio

We’re coming up to the last week for our survey — please fill it out if you haven’t already! Take the survey here: https://lnkd.in/dFJ7H4nr If you have filled it out, please share it with your coworkers/other communities where you think it would be relevant! We’d really like this to be a representative picture of the entire software x science space and then more responses we get, the better the resource will be for everyone when we publish it early next year.

?? San Diego biotech and tech innovators, this one's for you! Join us at the?Bits in Bio x TechBio Transformers Mixer for an evening of connections, inspiration, and collaboration.

Perfect Your Pitch - Workshop Opportunity Join us for an exclusive Pitch Deck Review Workshop, in collaboration with Bits in Bio, on December 5th. Are you gearing up for the JPM Health event and want to ensure your pitch stands out? A strong pitch can be the difference between securing investment or getting lost in the crowd. For the past 7 years, we’ve helped top VCs, accelerators, and startups in the health and bio sectors raise over $700M in early and growth-stage capital. During this workshop, you’ll learn key strategies for crafting an impactful pitch in the bio sector, and if you’d like personalized feedback, you can submit your pitch deck to Bits in Bio one week ahead for tailored insights to refine your message. The session will wrap up with a Q&A to address any last-minute questions and ensure you're fully prepared. Sign up for the event here: https://lu.ma/dw9i7xld And, if you’d like to submit your pitch to be reviewed during the workshop, visit this link: https://lnkd.in/ebF8fWsx #BioTech #StartupPitch #Entrepreneurship #Fundraising #Wunderdogs #BitsInBio

According to last year's State of TechBio Survey by Bits in Bio, almost half of respondents didn't use any form of LIMS or ELN! This is a survey where a majority of respondents work with biological data in some computational capacity, 75% in industry. If this is your situation, how do you receive and hand off the data, metadata, and results you work on? Email? SharePoint? How are you keeping track of datasets that have/haven't been analyzed for a given project? Most of the researchers we hear from have complaints about this situation Here's a link to this year's survey, so your experience can be counted: https://lnkd.in/grtsB6VJ Last year's results here: https://lnkd.in/ggEbz6_i

Excited to announce the resumption of our Bits in Bio Q&As! These are AMA style interviews that happen on Slack in our #bib-interviews channel and are a great opportunity for you to engage with incredible scientists and engineers working on cool problems! Our next one will be on Tuesday November 12 at 10am PT with Ron Alfa, MD, PhD of NOETIK talking about the foundation models they’re building and their unique approach to data generation. Should be a ton of fun — bring questions!
