Bioinformatics Cartoon

Question

[Maxime Lamontagne]

Hi,

I'm working on a PowerPoint for a meeting and I want to include some bioinformatics cartoons to help explain what I'm doing. I will present my genotyping project to lung specialist and I'm sure they don't have any idea what bioinformatics is.

Thanks everyone

[Casey Bergman]

Great topic...this should lead to a treasure trove of goodies.

[Nasir]

Thanks Baboune, I've spent 20 mins looking at cartoons, and I came to the website to look up a topic on identifying population outliers in GWAS!

[Dermot]

Very funny post!! I didn't realise the world of bioinformatics was so vague... why did I do an MSc in the subject again???? :D

This was just an illumina ad for RNA-seq, but I found it amusing.

[Cliff Beall]

The first one is originally from the New Yorker. I saw it in this book which by the way comes with a DVD-ROM for easy use in talks.

Not really a cartoon, but I have a T-shirt where this is printed on the back:

I found this strip is pretty good ... Its more relevant to PI`s and postdocs, but still worth mentioning.

Valdo cartoon strips

[Nasir]

These are proper funny (though not entirely relevant to the question)!
