New year, new connections: join our Microbiome Analysis Community Meetings!

[Tiffanie Nelson]

Dear colleague,

Happy NY! I hope you have had a restful break. 

This year we will continue working together to describe and explore digital infrastructure challenges facing anyone using microbiome analysis and/or metagenomics and identify solutions to work more efficiently.

The quarterly community meetings will continue. The 2025 meetings will be held on Tuesdays from 1:00 to 2:30 pm on the following dates:

• 18th March (AEDT) see in your timezone || add to google calendar || add to calendar via download .ics file

• 27th May see in your timezone || add to google calendar || add to calendar via download .ics file

• 5th August see in your timezone || add to google calendar || add to calendar via download .ics file

• 28th October (AEDT) see in your timezone || add to google calendar || add to calendar via download .ics file

The meetings will be held virtually, with the Zoom link circulated prior to each meeting.

These meetings provide a forum for community members to:

• Share their experiences and challenges with using microbiome analysis and/or metagenomics in the digital space, i.e. data analysis,

• Share knowledge, make connections, and collaborate,

• Learn more about recent developments in bioinformatics that impact microbiome analysis and/or metagenomics, 

• Discuss potential solutions and best practices, and,

• Learn about relevant services and offerings from BioCommons and partners (check out currently available resources here).

We encourage anyone working with microbiome analysis and/or metagenomics to attend these meetings. As a member of this google group, you will automatically be added to the calendar invite and notified of the upcoming meetings.

What we do together is driven by the community, so we are always seeking speakers. If you are interested in presenting or even just have a topic idea, please get in touch with me. We look forward to seeing you there!

Best regards,

Tiff
