REMINDER - TOMORROW (12 PM CT) Virtual Round-table on phenotypic data management!!!

by Annarita Marrano

Hi everybody, Join us tomorrow, *August 2nd, *at 12 PM CT for a *virtual round-table discussion on phenotypic data management issues*! In Year 2 of our current NSF RCN grant, the AgBioData database community indicated sharing and managing phenotypic data as one of the primary data issues to address. We have surveyed our member databases, and many of them agreed that curating phenotypic data is challenging due to *their diversity in terms of data types* (e.g., images vs. spreadsheets) *and data sources* (e.g., breeding program, experimental trials, or literature), *as well as the lack of standardization*. We are inviting the AgBioData member databases and the larger community to discuss these challenges to understand their importance for AgBioData member databases and if they can be addressed entirely or partially in a new AgBioData working group. As usual, the meeting will be 1-hour long and will feature breakout room sessions! *Zoom link to attend the event at the bottom of this email.* I hope you will join us.

TODAY webinar: Rose Marks on inequalities in plant science literature

by Annarita Marrano

Hi everybody, This is a friendly reminder of *TODAY* DEIR webinar *at 3 PM ET* with Dr. Rose Marks from Michigan State University. Rose will present her recent publication in PNAS <https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2217564120> about inequalities in plant science literature. Below you can find more information about her talk and the Zoom link. I hope you will join us! Best, Annarita *Speaker: *Rose Marks, Ph.D., Michigan State University *Global disparities in plant science: a legacy of colonialism, patriarchy, and exclusion* The field of plant science has grown dramatically in the past two decades, but global disparities and systemic inequalities persist. We analyzed ~300,000 papers published over the past two decades to quantify global, gender, and taxonomic disparities in plant science. Our analyses reveal striking geographical biases that are correlated with national affluence. Gender imbalances were also evident, with far more papers led by authors with masculine names than those by authors with feminine names. Lastly, we identified substantial taxonomic sampling gaps. The vast majority of surveyed studies focused on major crop and model species, and the remaining biodiversity accounted for only a fraction of publications. Taken together, our analyses reveal a problematic system of publication, with persistent imbalances that poorly capture the global wealth of scientific knowledge and biological diversity. We conclude by highlighting disparities that can be addressed immediately and offer suggestions for long-term solutions to improve equity in the plant sciences.

REMINDER - tomorrow's AgBioData webinar at 12 PM CT!!

by Annarita Marrano

Hi everybody, This is a friendly reminder of our monthly webinar tomorrow, *July 12th*, at *12 PM CET*. We will have *Sarah Lippincott *from *DRYAD* talking about how to integrate generalist and specialist repositories to promote agricultural data sharing and reuse. I have included below more details about the webinar and the Zoom link to attend the webinar. I hope you will join us. Best, Annarita :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Presenters: Sarah Lippincott, Dryad <https://datadryad.org/stash> Abstract: *Companion planting: How generalist and specialist repositories can work together to promote agricultural data sharing and reuse.* This conversation explores strategies for enhancing open sharing and reuse of agricultural data through collaboration between disciplinary and generalist repositories, specifically Dryad, an open data publishing platform and community. Generalist and specialist repositories bring distinct strengths to data sharing and reuse. Generalist repositories offer a home for a wide range of data types and support serendipitous discovery, while discipline-specific repositories offer granular metadata, specialized tools, and deep understanding of community needs. Agricultural data creators, and future data re-users, can benefit from collaboration between these different solutions, including building connections with complementary datasets stored in multiple repositories; consistency in metadata standards; and federated discovery systems. In this conversation, Dryad’s Head of Community Engagement, Sarah Lippincott, will describe Dryad’s stewardship of agricultural data and engage attendees in an exploration of how Dryad’s can work with the agricultural research community to improve data sharing, discovery, and reuse. *| 1P ET | 12P CT | 11A MT | 10A PT |* Find your local time here <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=AgBioData+monthly…> Topic: AgBioData Monthly Webinar Time: This is a recurring meeting Meet anytime Join Zoom Meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82038356125?pwd=YVFMRElMdEpHZmtObXFvZlA4QVFXQT09 Meeting ID: 820 3835 6125 Passcode: 160683 --- One tap mobile +19292056099,,82038356125#,,,,*160683# US (New York) +13017158592,,82038356125#,,,,*160683# US (Washington DC) --- Dial by your location • +1 929 205 6099 US (New York) • +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) • +1 305 224 1968 US • +1 309 205 3325 US • +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) • +1 646 931 3860 US • +1 253 205 0468 US • +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) • +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) • +1 360 209 5623 US • +1 386 347 5053 US • +1 507 473 4847 US • +1 564 217 2000 US • +1 669 444 9171 US • +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) • +1 689 278 1000 US • +1 719 359 4580 US Meeting ID: 820 3835 6125 Passcode: 160683 Find your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kF3akiFg7

AgBioData monthly webinar - TOMORROW!!

by Annarita Marrano

Hi everybody, This is a friendly reminder of our monthly webinar tomorrow, *June 7th, *at 12 PM CT. We will have *Peter Selby *from Cornell University talking about the *BrAPI project and its applications in plant breeding*. I have included below more details about the webinar and the Zoom link to attend the webinar. I hope you will join us. Best, Annarita :-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-: Presenters: Dr. Peter Selby, Cornell University Abstract: *Applications and impacts of the BrAPI project on plant breeding* Modern genomic breeding methods rely heavily on very large amounts of phenotypic and genotypic data, presenting new challenges in effective data management and integration. The datasets are often large and complex, and the data is often stored on multiple systems, sometimes separated by country and organization. As the common analysis methods increasingly require aggregation of datasets from diverse sources, data exchange between disparate systems becomes a challenge. This webinar will be an introduction to The Breeding API (BrAPI) Project. The BrAPI Project began in 2014 when a small group of plant breeding and technology experts came together to try to standardize their data. Since then, BrAPI has become internationally accepted as one of the primary data exchange standards in the plant breeding domain. This webinar will give an overview of what BrAPI is, how it works, what it is capable of, and the impact the project has had so far on the community. *| 1P ET | 12P CT | 11A MT | 10A PT |* Find your local time here <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=AgBioData+Monthly…> Topic: AgBioData Monthly Webinar Time: This is a recurring meeting Meet anytime Join Zoom Meeting https://us06web.zoom.us/j/82038356125?pwd=YVFMRElMdEpHZmtObXFvZlA4QVFXQT09 Meeting ID: 820 3835 6125 Passcode: 160683 --- One tap mobile +19292056099,,82038356125#,,,,*160683# US (New York) +13017158592,,82038356125#,,,,*160683# US (Washington DC) --- Dial by your location • +1 929 205 6099 US (New York) • +1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC) • +1 305 224 1968 US • +1 309 205 3325 US • +1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago) • +1 646 931 3860 US • +1 253 205 0468 US • +1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma) • +1 346 248 7799 US (Houston) • +1 360 209 5623 US • +1 386 347 5053 US • +1 507 473 4847 US • +1 564 217 2000 US • +1 669 444 9171 US • +1 669 900 6833 US (San Jose) • +1 689 278 1000 US • +1 719 359 4580 US Meeting ID: 820 3835 6125 Passcode: 160683 Find your local number: https://us06web.zoom.us/u/kF3akiFg7
