I need data visualization inspiration all the time so this is a good resource to see how to present the different types of findings we have with genomics
It is impossible to learn everything the first time. I always have to go back and read them again. The[m] being available is critical for me.
I've discovered that I learn a lot better when I have the flexibility to go for walks or multitask with mindless work. I have more time for thinking and therefore for problem solving now that I have more flexibility with my schedule.
