Today we start to debug the different job titles in our lovely work of data biology!
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.

Thank you for the AWESOME video, Georgia!! I very much envy because there is so many opportunity for Bioinformaticians job in UK, while there is barely anything in my country for industrial level (in South East Asia). I am heavily considering to shift to working with non-biological data as there are more opportunity for that. Unfortunately, as fresh graduate of Bioinfo, that is quite impossible as they don't think we are qualified enough.

Ah thank YOU for watching 💖 I’m not too clued up on the job space out in SEA, but there’s deffo academic bioinformatics out there (I used to work with collaborators in public health computational academics that area of the world). And there’s an illumina base in Singapore?! Not helpful if you’re no where near there though I know 😭😭 moving to traditional data science/software engineering is a really smart move (pay is usually better lol) and you can always go back into bioinfo roles later on with your industry level tech skills (you’ll be very much appreciated!)

Hi Georgia! I really need your guidance. I just finished my Bsc in biotechnology and molecular biology and passionate about bioinformatics. In yout opinion, how should I or where can begin from?
