Rise of the Machine Readers: What They Really Want to Read - The Scholarly Kitchen As AI becomes a major consumer of research, scholarly publishing must evolve: from PDFs for people to structured, high-quality data for machines.

We for one welcome our new AI overlords. As all our content is presented in the most structured and metadata rich manner. With a text-mining portal for bulk use. And all papers linked to the supporting data and code( via DOIs where possible)

Having >2200 attendees at #ISMBECCB2025 has made the poster sessions pretty full on. Great there are long coffee sessions but can barely get through all of the aisles #ISMB2025

In the Analytic tools and pipelines track of #BOSC2025, interesting to see @nextflow.io in 2024 overtook #usegalaxy to become the most widely used workflow manager in bioinformatics #ISMB2025 #ISMBECCB2025

Liverpool seems a great location for #ISMBECCB2025 #ISMB2025, with a fab first morning keynote from Amos Bairoch
