I had the great pleasure of attending BOSC way back in 2003 and delivering a short presentation on Bioperl. I knew almost nothing in those days, but everyone was very kind and appreciative.</p>
<p>My trusty R code for Twitter conference hashtags pulled out 3268 tweets and without further ado here is:</p>
<ul>
<li><a rel="nofollow" href="https://github.com/neilfws/Twitter/tree/master/bosc2017" target="_blank">the Github repository</a>, where you can view the markdown report in the <code>code/R</code> directory</li>
<li><a rel="nofollow" href="http://rpubs.com/neilfws/293995" target="_blank">the published report</a> at RPubs</li>
</ul>
<p>The ISMB/ECCB meeting wraps today and analysis of Twitter coverage for that meeting will appear here in due course.</p>
