DESCRIPTION:Babraham Bioinformatics is organising an online three-day life
  sciences-related hackathon.\n\nThe hackathon is an excellent opportunity 
 to improve your coding skills\, network with people in your field\, or to 
 try out that project you’ve always wanted to work on but never found the
  time. Alternatively\, you may want to work as part of a team in a field t
 hat is completely new to you.\n\nWhat should I work on?\n\nIt’s really u
 p to you. All that we ask is that you work on a computational project with
  a life sciences focus. Many of the participants last time came up with th
 eir own ideas for a project and worked on that for the three days.\n\nTo s
 ee details of the previous hackathon projects\, please click the following
  links: https://f1000research.com/slides/8-212\n\nIt may also be possible 
 to work on a project proposed by someone else\, and we will provide furthe
 r details of these projects on our site as and when they become available.
  Alternatively\, if nothing springs to mind\, then why not use the time to
  learn a new programming language or computational skill.\n\nWhat skills w
 ill I need?\n\nThe hackathon is aimed at people of all skill sets\, from p
 eople new to coding through to experts in their respective fields. This is
  a chance to work in a friendly collaborative atmosphere and have some fun
 !\n\nHow will it work?\n\nWe shall meet up via Zoom. Participants will the
 n be free to work on their projects\, although we shall try and organise o
 nline social events once a day’s coding has finished. At the end of the 
 event\, there will be the opportunity for volunteers to present their work
 \, although no-one is under any obligation to do so.\n\nWould you like to 
 start a group project?\n\nOnce you have signed-up\, there will be the oppo
 rtunity to propose your communal project on this website.\n\nHow much does
  it cost?\n\nIt is free to take part.\n\nHow do I sign up?\n\nhttps://www.
