[Biopython] [bosc-announce] BOSC news: abstract deadline Apr 17; CollaborationFest; thanking our first sponsors 🍐

[Peter Cock]

FYI - I hope to be at BOSC 2025 in Liverpool this year, and see some of you
there - and perhaps hear about your work - the abstract deadline is
approaching!

I'm unsure we have enough to justify a Biopython update talk though?
