Siobhan Egan Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Murdoch University
I am a biologist-turned computational biologist, spending less time in the wet lab and more time working with large multi-omic datasets. Much of my current research is focused around understanding the effects that tiny microorganisms can have on us, but I have a soft spot for native Australian animals & their unusual parasites. https://siobhonlegan.com/
Privacy, security, and ethics are fundamental considerations when using data in research and practice. Indeed, ever more data enables dramatic leaps in our ability to extract a person from signals at the expense of privacy: people’s ability to control their own conception and its expression. This dilemma is further fuelled by ever growing concerns on cyber security, and the variance in moral principles that govern the generation, access, use, and sharing of data. This workshop explains and organises key concepts for responsible data management and provides a range of recommendations and resources that help you navigate challenging data territory.

Brady Johnston Post-Doctoral Researcher in Structural Biology, University of Western Australia
Very interested in all things data visualisation. Favourite tools are the programming language R & the 3D animation program Blender
Bioinformatics is one of the main tools of biology, but the required skills are hard to learn. Often it's even hard to know where to start learning! In this small workshop we'll show you how to analyse a small genomics dataset from start to finish on the command line. We'll touch on the various small tools experienced bioinformaticians employ, hopefully giving you a starting point for your learning journey. This workshop will not be interactive, but we welcome chances for digressions. We don't expect any prerequisite knowledge.

My research interests include the structure and expression of plant genomes, the discovery and application of genome variation and applied bioinformatics, with a focus on crop plants and accelerating crop improvement in the face of climate change.
How do you know when your dataset becomes “too big”? How do you know when your laptop can no longer do what you need it to do for your research? When is it best to use cloud resources? When is it best to use supercomputing resources? When do I need both (or neither)?
The answers to these questions are project-dependent, and each project is different… but there are guidelines and best practices to help you decide.
During this interactive session, we will seek to answer these and associated questions. We'll hear real stories from individuals who have had to navigate these same questions and who will be on hand to facilitate discussion, based on years of experience working with early, mid and late career researchers.

Learning a new programming language can be a substantial time investment. Given the emergence of different programming languages, it is often difficult to decide if learning a new language is worth the time investment.

Although data science applications are initiated to deliver value from data, many fail because they are deployed as time-bound technical projects rather than as part of an integrated business process. It is important to focus on not only organisational routines and standardised workflows, but also collaborative team process achieved by people with appropriate skills. This session will cover people skills, communications, and new ways of working in data science innovations, with a case study of machine learning model application in a mining operation context.
