Ten Common Misconceptions About Galaxy (And Why They’re Wrong!)
We are thrilled to announce that 'Ten Common Misconceptions About Galaxy (And Why They Are Wrong!)' has just been published in PLOS Computational Biology! This paper is the result of passionate discussions, collaborative debates, and a shared commitment to clarifying what Galaxy truly is—and what it can do. Whether you are a longtime Galaxy user or new to the platform, this paper will challenge assumptions and highlight Galaxy's versatility, scalability, and impact across disciplines.

Evaluation of the current usage and future needs of Galaxy for microbial data analysis - We Need Your Help!
The microGalaxy community of practice would like to learn more about use-cases where Galaxy was beneficial, and also the barriers that prevent researchers from using Galaxy. The aim is to collectively find solutions to improve user experience and reduce barriers. To this end, we are launching a survey to reach out to, and learn from, the microbial research community.
