What do you expectwhen you graduate?
… for the computer sciencemajors
Myth of the Lone
Developer
in-practice: lots of interaction w/ technical& non-technical people
Communication is amajor challenge
Take Away:
What might help?
Software projects #fail.
… quite often

{Code} for Science
I wasn’t always interested in
science/biology
Biology is an interesting domain
I know too much aboutAuto titling & international trucking fees

… of the community, by the community, for the community
Empowering the next generation of biologist
Why?
The world faces tough problems
in the future
Fuel/Energy
Food
Water Supply
…
Cyberinfrastructure
“In scientific usage, cyberinfrastructure is a technological solution to the problem of efficiently
connecting data, computers, and people with the goal of enabling
derivation of novel scientific theories and knowledge.”
Large systems designleads to diverse,
interdisciplinary teams
With the direction of Computational Biology &
Bioinformatics…
Software Development
as aCollaborative Game
Soft skills are important
Speaking in tongues is not allowed
Working in pairs, not just for
pair-programming ordebugging
Impromptu design discussions
(they often include more than just technical folks)
