We’re excited to share that our leadership team has published a paper in PLOS Computational Biology:
10 Simple Rules for Success in Computational Biology Outreach
This article distills lessons learned from COMBO’s workshops, mentorship programs, and community partnerships into ten practical “rules” for building meaningful, sustainable outreach initiatives.
Key themes include:
- Designing accessible and engaging workshop materials
- Building strong community and school partnerships
- Supporting volunteers and leadership development
- Building an robust and efficiently functioning outreach organisation
We hope this paper serves as a guide and inspiration for others working to broaden participation in computational biology.
A huge thank-you to everyone in COMBO who has contributed to making these outreach efforts possible — this publication is a reflection of our collective work!
