ISCB Student Council Articles Published

Internships Article

The ISCB-SC Education and Internships committee do great work including running the internships program. Each year the EIC matches students in developing countries with willing labs in Europe or Australia. With the introduction of the Anna Tramontano fellowship they will start to have the financial support needed to increase this program. The paper we published in PLOS Computational Biology describes the program but the committee is happy to answer any questions. Also if you have room in your laboratory for an intern, the program is always looking for willing PIs.

Student Council Symposium-Africa 2017

Every other year the ISCB-SC runs four Student Council Symposia, US (co-located with ISMB), Europe (co-located with ECCB), Latin America (co-located with ISCB-LA) and most recently Africa (co-located with ISCB-Africa). I had the pleasure of helping to organize this year’s SCS-Africa meeting. The symposium was a great success and details about the talks held can be found in the conference highlights that we published in F1000Research.

Latex CV Conversion

I have recently converted by CV into Latex, this is something I have been meaning to do for a while but had not found the time for, my new CV can be found here as compared to the old formatting. Because I put a lot of time into customizing it I thought it would be helpful for others to have the source for it as well. I have posted the source on Github for anyone who wants to make the change themselves. This is an adaptation of Steve Tjoa’s original CV template.

I have included a customized bst file that reformats my name in the publications list(s), this can be adapted simply within the cv.tex file without having to edit the bst file yourself. The original template I used allows for multiple bibliographies so if you want to add sections that are not currently there it is quite simple. Using the unsrt bibliography style allows me to order the publications how I want them, I currently have them in decreasing publication year.
