It’s not about the computers, it’s about the people – the NHGRI Planning meeting (MetaMorgan TV)

https://morganonscience.com Morgan was invited to participate in a meeting designed to give feedback to the NIH for the future of informatics for handling the flood of data from the "post genome" era of biology. It is a huge challenge. But in the meeting, the primary focus was all about the machines - hardware and software that it will take to get it done. I was a bit frustrated that there wasn't more about the "people" in the meeting, for reasons I discuss on the video.

Why Universities are “stupid” about your time as a scientist, and what to do about it – MetaMorgan TV

Morgan makes the controversial claim that Universities are "stupid". She makes that claim because they expect scientists to run their labs like a business, yet they get in the way when it comes to a lab's optimal functioning as a business. This video talks about the problem and what to do about it.
