Hey Rohit, what’s happening NOW?
So a website with a link that says “now” goes to a page that tells you what this person is focused on at this point in their life. For short, we call it a “now page”.

It’s been quite some time since I updated this page, so recalling everything I did during that time will be difficult. Therefore, I will only mention the most recent happenings and what to expect in the remainder of this year. I am also consolidating my personal and professional sections into one as it would represent me wholistically.
Last week, I attended the Biological Data Science conference at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York. This was the third time I participated in this conference series, which happens once every two years and covers a broad range of bioinformatics/computational biology methods. I presented a poster on my latest work on epitope mapping using Phage Immunoprecipitation Sequencing (PhIP-Seq) for probe design. Below is a post from Michael Schatz (one of the organizers) summarizing the conference’s key takeaways.
And a few of my reflections on the meeting. Im very curious to hear what you all thought - What did I miss? #biodata24

Family-wise, we are doing well in Maryland. Elsa participated in her first Science Fair and presented a diorama on volcanic eruptions using vinegar and baking soda. I continue going on hikes and other outdoor activities every week (primarily early Saturday mornings) and post my recorded activities on the Outdoorsy Indians YouTube channel. Recording is fun; however, editing and posting in time is difficult. I am seeking help from one of my friends to edit. Sibyl likes her job and got her first promotion within a year. Eva has settled in her daycare and, most days doesn’t complain about going.
I expect nothing out of the ordinary for the remainder of the year, both professionally and personally, and I am happy with that.
Thanks for reading. Be blessed, and stay in touch at rohit@rohitfarmer.com.
