This blog post stems from notes I made for a 12 minute talk at the Oregon State Microbiome Initiative, which followed from some previous thinking about data integration on my part -- in particular, Physics ain't biology (and vice versa) and What to do with lots of (sequencing) data.
My talk …

So I've been invited to Imagining Tomorrow's University, and they have this series of questions they'd like me to answer.
(Note that you can follow the conversation at #TomorrowsUni on Twitter.)
Conveniently I already answered many of these questions in my "What is Open Science?" blog post. I've copy/pasted …

We are currently soliciting applications for computational postdoctoral fellows to undertake exciting projects in computational biology/bioinformatics jointly supervised by Dr. Titus Brown (http://ivory.idyll.org/lab/) and Dr. Fereydoun Hormozdiari (http://www.hormozdiarilab.org/) at UC Davis.
UC Davis is a world class research institution with a strong …
