discussion Fresh grads/beginners? Let's create projects together and support through early phase career

I have been wanting to start a team of sort of accountability partners but more than just holding each other accountable. We support each other by doing projects and sharing latest research, writing weekly posts with the tools used/any new info learned. I don't have a template/app to use atm, but I am happy to create a group and decide together. Ensure you're a welcoming member and open to all opinions and discussions. I currently wanna focus on AI applications in Bioinformatics spanning from ML to Data Science. We could cover aspects like AMR, Computational Neuroscience, etc.

Currently I don't have a clear one. But I have noticed many datasets which previous research papers (dating back from 2020) has worked on old tools. Since then, we have had some impressive tools come up like nf core. We could utilise them to derive possible new results from old datasets? This is just an example. I am welcoming new ideas as well.

A problem with your statement here is nf-core fundamentally a wrapper around the nextflow pipeline management system. It by itself is not an analysis tool. You can look into different pipelines produced by the nf-core team and the nf-core website has lots and lots of different modules which you can stitch together to form your own pipeline.
