In most organizations, the human resources of bioinformatics are a regular source of tension. Unless you’re particularly lucky, you can be plagued by politics, illogical decision making, disappointment, and low productivity. While you can have these problems in a properly-balanced organization, there are certain org charts in which they are endemic.

About the Author

In 1998, Aaron was kidnapped from a Neurosciences PhD and dumped unceremoniously at the doorstep of BioInformatics software development at Glaxo-Wellcome in the Research Triangle Park, NC. He was raised by his new parents on Java, Perl, and mounds of sequence data. He became friendly with both the lords of the estate (writing Java and Oracle) and the servants (hacking Perl and MySQL). He moved to the Wyeth estate in Cambridge where he lived for 8 years then took a couple of one year leases at Helicos and Life Technologies before settling in with the homeless vagabonds at The BioTeam.
