You don't need a masters degree to work in Data Science | Genomics with Georgia

Описание: Hello Friends!

With my BSc Graduation from my 2020 degree being held earlier this month I was inspired to shout from the rooftops about why you don’t need a masters to get into Genomic Data Science or Bioinformatics!

Welcome to Genomics with Georgia! I'm a self taught data scientist with simply an undergrad in biology who transitioned from wet lab to dry lab during the pandemic. After sharing my career start on LinkedIn I've had lots of people reach out wanting more information on how to learn to code as a biologist and all things genomic data science. So here we are: Georgia is using this platform to share all she's learnt, the resources she's found and hopefully inspire people to pursue this awesome path.
