My Keynote ‘Future’ Presentation at the European Bioconductor Meeting 2020

Luke Zappia‘s summary of the talk

I presented Future: A Simple, Extendable, Generic Framework for Parallel Processing in R at the European Bioconductor Meeting 2020, which took place online during the week of December 14-18, 2020.

You’ll find my slides (39 slides + Q&A slides; 35 minutes) below:

• Title & Abstract
• HTML (Google Slides; requires online access)
• PDF (flat slides)
• Video (to be uploaded by the organizers)

I want to thank the organizers for inviting me to this Bioconductor conference. The Bioconductor Project provides a powerful and an important technical and social environment for developing and conducting computational research in bioinformatics and genomics. It has a great, world-wide community and engaging leadership which effortlessly keep delivering great tools (~2,000 R packages as of December 2020) and training year after year. I am honored for the opportunity to give a keynote presentation to this community.
