Congratulations!

I have no clue of bioinformatics, but I'm interested. I have a physics background and do know a bit about genes and stuff. Could you maybe recommend me a video or other ressource to learn a bit what your discipline is about?

There are different takes... for example, take a look at all the different tracks on the latest ISCB conference. For me, there were a few books that I've enjoyed the most. For example... (1) Bioinformatics Data Skills by Vince Buffalo, showed me how to leverage the lignux shell to work with our files and formats. (2) Bioinformatics Algorithms by Pavel Pevzner, showed me how simple data strutures as strings can convey so much complexity when it comes to dealing with them in the context of this discipline. And (3) Human Molecular Genetics by Tom Strachan, showed me how my knowledge from bachellors degree in life sciences was rather limited :P
