About John Methot
I have more than four decades of experience as a software engineer, data architect, and life science informatics leader. I feel privileged to live in this period of rapid scientific advancement, and I am honored to be an \"oiler\" who lubricates the hypothesis-experiment-analysis cycle of the scientific method by helping scientists find, manage, integrate and analyze the data they need to improve human health. I\'m a co-organizer emeritus of the Boston Computational Biology and Bioinformatics Meetup: 3800+ computational scientists who meet for seminars and professional networking.(tinyurl.com/bcbb-meetup)
