 My background is in biology, and an aspect of the government focuses on biology and sequencing analysis. I went to Uganda to lead a workshop for researchers who were part of the ACE program, which is the African Centers of Excellence, specifically in bioinformatics. I worked with the researchers there to show them how their research could benefit from using OSG resources. It was just incredible — there are so many things that are hard to grasp until you're there. They have a high-performance computing system over there that, in theory, they can use, but they don't have stable power. I would be sitting in a meeting with important leaders from universities and different U.S. computing centers, and the power shuts off. Things like that are hard to comprehend until you're there, and I grew so much from that experience. I began to understand what their challenges were and what we could do to address them.
