took place online in July as part of ISMB/ECCB 2021. Nearly 200 people
participated in BOSC sessions, which included 27 talks reviewed and
selected from submitted abstracts and three invited keynote talks
representing a range of global perspectives on the role of open science
and open source in driving research and inclusivity in the biosciences,
one of which was presented in French with English subtitles. All of the
BOSC 2021 talk videos, as well as poster videos that were submitted, are
