Ben Keller
University of Washington Aquarium project lead
Seattle, WA USA
I'm the computational lead on a software project for semi-automated biology labs – the system, Aquarium, allows experimental plans to be designed and then run by humans at the bench, collecting data and provenance as it goes. We use it to run a cloud lab (uwbiofab.org), but people use it to run their own protocols and capture data in a systematic way. I'm here to learn about community building, but am also interested in talking about integrating lab work with data analysis and workflow representations.
