Me
I’m Neil Saunders and I’m currently employed as a data scientist with Life Letters.
Before that, I worked:
- as a statistical bioinformatician with CSIRO
- as a research officer in computational biology in the Kobe lab at the University of Queensland
- on microbial genome projects at the University of New South Wales
- on microbial physiology at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
- as a postgraduate student in biochemistry at the University of Oxford
My research passion is enabling biological discovery using genome-scale analysis and the computational tools required to do it.
I find an increasing proportion of my time is spent discussing ways in which web technology can facilitate communication and data sharing between researchers. A lot of this happens here and at many other social networks.
Any opinions expressed here are mine, not those of my employer.
The blog
In general, I don’t go back and revise old posts. If you’ve come here via a Google search for PHP background processes, YouTube sound in Firefox or installing Ubuntu from a USB stick, be aware that these (and similar) posts are out of date and probably no longer relevant. Think about the date of the post before leaving a comment.
If you’re commenting for the first time, your comment will go to a moderation queue. Once approved, future comments should appear straight away. Be aware that comments containing multiple URLs frequently require approval or worse, fall into the spam queue.
