Access to the products and methods of modern genome-scale biology is inequitable, with many institutions and communities excluded owing to resource constraints and cultural and administrative barriers. In partnership with the Outreachy program, Bioconductor developers create internship opportunities in a number of different areas of software development and
genomic data analysis. This talk describes the population of internship applicants, their application activities, the scope of mentoring activities, and the outcomes of awarded internships.
