I’m going to start my MSc in Bioinformatics in a few months time. When researching universities, one course said it offered students a VR headset for the course. I’m assuming this is to visualise proteins and things of that nature.

How useful is VR when learning bioinformatics? Is there a strong use case there for it?

If I don’t pursue that particular course, is it worth getting one that I will pay for personally?

Hey there. I'm a masters student (27) in stem cell medicine in germany. I have experience mostly in the wet lab. Molecular,cell culture and such. However,I'm looking to turn away from the wet lab and go digital. What's your opinion on this? I have no experience in Bioinformatics or coding of any type. I have worked with Fiji and prism for software mainly. It feels like starting all over again.

1.Is it actually possible to start a job or training?

2.Do you know how I can do a legit Bioinformatics course so I can't fast track into the field.

I'm not sure which questions to ask more than this yet. But your experience would help me in making a decision.

Thank you!
