Wear Your Thesis: Event T-Shirts

Spring and summer bioinformatic training opportunities offered by the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics. I really like turning genomic information (repeating strings of ATGC) into a graphics, and here we use them to create idyllic spring and summer images. My colleague, Nicole Elmer, and I created these flyers last week.

Annual Event T-Shirts

This month I have been organizing and the Annual Big Data in Biology Symposium and the Big Data in Biology Summer School training program for the Center for Computational Biology and Bioinformatics.

Symposium T- shirt design front by Nicole Elmer. “Wear your thesis” images from my colleagues will printed on the back.

Every year we design a new t-shirt for the symposium and summer school. This year I’m inviting all participants to submit images from their thesis research, and the two most popular images will be printed.

I secured $500 from the Student Government and Graduate Student Association to print multiple T-shirts. The front logo, designed by Nicole Elmer, will be the same on both shirts, but the back will showcase data visualizations made by my colleagues.

Submit your design!

If you are attending either the Big Data in Biology Summer School or Symposium or if you are a researcher at the University of Texas, you are invited to submit your design.

Submit your design here: http://goo.gl/d9pc8i

All submission due by the end of the day on Sunday, April 3. I’ll post the submissions and run a poll on Wednesday, April 6th so people can vote for their favorite. The top two images will be selected and printed.

The One Side Project Challenge

As I discussed last month, the is part of my One Side Project Challenge called “Wear Your Thesis”. Stayed tuned each month for updates on this and other aspects of my Wear Your Thesis project.
