Dear AgBioData community members,
The next AG2PI Field Day is on Wednesday, December 15 from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM (Central Time, -6 GMT). In this field day, Dr. Ben Holt, AgBiome, Inc., will discuss the challenges of putting microbes to work for human benefit, particularly with respect to plants. Then, Dr. Katie Summers, USDA ABBL, will describe the inter-kingdom communications that occur between the weanling pig's gut bacteriome and mycobiome and how these affect piglet performance.
This discussion will hit themes that are relevant to both animal and plant sciences, so we hope you join us for an engaging conversation!
We invite you to register for this Zoom event at https://tinyurl.com/AG2PI-FD14, where you will also find additional information. Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the meeting. If you are unable to attend the live session, then you will be able to find a recording at ag2pi.org/<https://www.ag2pi.org/>, at a later date. Please note: you do not need to register to view the recording; it is readily available on the AG2PI website soon after the close of the event (generally within 24 hours).

Dear AG2PI Partner Organization leaders and community members,
Please share the below message with your members:
We need your help to gather feedback on the USDA-funded Agricultural Genomes to Phenomes Initiative (AG2PI<https://www.ag2pi.org/>) and to help direct future funding opportunities in agriculture. Your responses will be used to inform USDA NIFA about access and barriers to resources in the area of G2P research, training, connections and other efforts. The below URL is reusable and not unique; anyone with this link will have the ability to participate. We ask that you finish the survey in one session, which should take around 10 minutes.
This survey will remain open until December 3, 2021: https://iastate.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_bm95xi3GFELb2xE
As a reminder, the focus of the AG2PI project is to build cross-kingdom research communities to address the challenges of genome to phenome (G2P) research and find opportunities to work together to identify shared critical research gaps. Importantly, this is an opportunity for the community to create a vision that may be used to guide future funding opportunities in this space.
Please note: If you have joined an AG2PI mailing list then you will receive a direct email from this project asking you to fill out the survey. You should only fill out the survey once. General results of this survey will be made available to the public on the AG2PI website, on our Community Survey<https://www.ag2pi.org/community-surveys/> page (you can review results of our 2020 survey there now).
We appreciate your help with this survey and telling us how the AG2PI project can be used to better your own agricultural endeavors and inform funding agencies of your needs.

Greetings!
I hope your fall is off to a great start, not sure about you, but it is one of favorite seasons of the year.
The upcoming October seminar is amazingly timely, and the neat thing is that the topic was set up early this spring, prior to the RCN announcement/kickoff last month (https://youtu.be/Sx3mZENaTro).
If you were online or have watched the video, you will recall a significant amount of time was spent on making data FAIR and is a core objective of the RCN. Dr. Allyson Lister from Oxford e-Research Centre at the University of Oxford is a Knowledge Engineer, and FAIRsharing advocate that will challenge us on how we do our work AND make our data FAIR. Read more in the abstract below.
I hope your schedule will allow you to join us. As usual we will record and publish the content after the meeting.
All the best!
Darwin

Abstract: FAIRsharing is an informative and educational resource on interlinked standards, repositories and policies, three key elements of the FAIR ecosystem. FAIRsharing promotes the existence and value of these standards, repositories and policies, fostering a culture change within the research community into one where the use of these resources for FAIRer data is pervasive and seamless. This is achieved by guiding consumers to discover, select and use these resources with confidence, and helping producers to make their resources more visible, more widely adopted and cited. This presentation will highlight key collaborative, successful activities as well as next steps within FAIRsharing. It will also provide information on how to become a recommended repository in FAIRsharing and how to use FAIRsharing to engage with your stakeholders as well as with journal publishers and their data policies.
Hi folks,

Dear AgBioData members,
The next AG2PI Field Day is on Wednesday, November 17 from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM (Central Time, -6 GMT). In this field day, we will hear from scientists at two institutions that are developing tools for genomic and phenomic research and analysis. First, Drs. Anthony Hearst and Edwin Reidel, from Progeny Drone, will describe how their software can help with phenotyping in small plot field trials with small unmanned aerial systems. Then, Dr. Dugan Um, from Texas A&M University Corpus Christi, will describe the development of an AI system for predicting yield using plant images and two AI agents.
This discussion will hit themes that are relevant to engineering and data sciences, so we hope you join us for an engaging conversation!

Greetings.
Normally about this time I would be sending you the information about the upcoming monthly AgBioData seminar. However, due to scheduling difficulties, this month’s seminar will be pushed back one week to Wednesday, November 10th, when Marcela Tello-Ruiz will host Dr. Silvie Fexova who will present on the Plant Expression Atlas.
Thank you for understanding and I hope your schedule will allow you to attend. If it does not, the recording will be posted on the AgBioData YouTube channel<https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwMIJWOX7n_ZFoFpOsmCzgw/videos?view=0&sort…> along with all previous seminars.
Wishing you all the best,

Dear AgBioData members,
The next AG2PI Field Day is on Wednesday, October 20 from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM (Central Time, -5 GMT). In this field day, we will hear from scientists at two companies that develop tools for genomic and phenomic research and analysis. First, Dr. Katrin Jakob, from Plant Di-Tech, will discuss how their PlantArray functional phenotyping technology captures plant-water balance in tomato plants, which allows for customized and precise set-up of drought stress conditions. Then, Matt Bechdol and Evan Flatt, from GRYFN, will discuss the multi-modal UAS sensing solutions they develop for multi-sensor integration design, calibration, processing, and operations.
This discussion will hit themes that are relevant to the animal, plant and data sciences, so we hope you join us for an engaging conversation!

A group of investigators including Alex Feltus is seeking information to
develop an NSF CSSI grant. It will support some genome database software
(Tripal) but also basic computational research needs for scientists. If you
have a moment to answer a few questions, they would appreciate it:
