WK14 Advancing microfluidics and metabolomics in microbial ecology
This half-day workshop is intended for researchers with expertise in microbial ecology, microfluidics and metabolomics, with the aim of interdisciplinary training, idea exchange and to foster collaborations. This event will feature several invited talks from leaders in the respective fields and will highlight recent developments and persistent challenges. Small-group discussions will be utilized to address current research challenges, and workshop outcomes will be shared with the larger scientific community. The workshop will be held via Zoom on Thursday February 24, 2022 from 9am to 1pm (EST), and you must be registered for the OSM conference to attend.
WK24 National Microbiome Data Collaborative Workshop on Enhancing Metadata Standards Adoption within the Marine ‘Omics Community
24 Feb 11am EST/8am PST/6am HST
Do you use sequence data to study microbes in the ocean? Do you ever feel like those data are hard to find? Maybe you’ve had challenges making them available for publication? Or don’t even know where to start…The National Microbiome Data Collaborative (NMDC, microbiomedata.org) will be running a metadata standards workshop at Ocean Science Meeting on 24 Feb at 8:00am PT/11:00am ET (1 hour). The workshop will introduce best practices in ‘omics data management, and demonstrate how to make those data work better for you, and for the OSM community. Please read more about the session, and use this link to register. The program is hosted by NMDC Ambassadors: Jaci Saunders from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and Natalia Erazo from Scripps Institute of Oceanography.
Bio-GO-SHIP: Sustained Global Scale Biological Observations
Feb. 24, 2:00 pm (Room 4)
Attend this Town Hall Meeting to learn more about a new 2-year Bio-GO-SHIP pilot effort supported by NOAA and NASA that will add biological measurements to the existing suite of core GO-SHIP physical and biogeochemical measurements on upcoming GO-SHIP lines. For more details on the scientific questions and associated measurements behind this effort, check out a new Perspectives article in Frontiers in Marine Science. This Town Hall will start with a brief overview of Bio-GO-SHIP with Q&A, followed by breakout groups to enable participants to interact and form new collaborations around potential scientific applications of these new datasets.
FAIR data solutions to support a global observing system of marine ecological time series
Feb. 24, 3:00 pm, Room 1
Join us at this Town Hall Meeting to learn more about a new NSF EarthCube-funded Research Coordination Network for Marine Ecological Time Series (METS-RCN) tasked with bringing together members of the oceanographic, data science, and informatics communities to build consensus on key components of a FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) (Wilkinson, 2016) data model for METS, including common vocabularies, metadata reporting standards, and data citation practices; engage broader METS data users (e.g., modelers, educators, decision makers) to facilitate broader applications of METS data; and build community capacity for METS data analysis, statistical methods, and data-model integration. This town hall meeting will also highlight a concurrent EuroSea-funded project led by members of the RCN leadership team focused on developing a pilot biogeochemical time series data product to help visualize spatial patterns and trends across ocean basins.
