The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

- Reposted by BF Francis OuelletteFor many years, Peer Bork organised Bio-IT retreats to bring together the bioinformaticians across EMBL, in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and later Feldberg. Days out on the mountain followed by forward-looking and meta-science oriented sessions in the hut that fueled many projects and careers.
- What sad news! He was so young! One of the great minds in computational biology. In remembrance of Peer Bork . www.embl.org/news/embl-an...
