Hello everyone,

AgBioData will be at PAG 31 in San Diego on Jan. 12-17! Here are some information on when and where you can find us at PAG:

- Join us for *our workshop *"*The AgBioData Consortium: Challenges and Recommendations for FAIR Genetic, Genomic and Breeding Data*" on *Friday, Jan. 12, at 4 PM* in room Town and Country C. Some of our working groups and two talented early-career AgBioData members will present their works. More details are available here https://www.agbiodata.org/agb-pag31. - *Join us at booth #422* and meet our member database resources. We will be there during exhibit hours to discuss our mission and answer your questions. - AgBioData will have two posters on Monday, Jan. 15, from 3-4.40. - *PO0727* - *PO0643 * - Our steering committee member, *Leonore Reiser*, will present about AgBioData and our NSF RCN grant during the workshop "*Beyond the National Plant Genome Initiative: New Frontiers and Grand Challenges in Plant Genomics*." Her talk https://plan.core-apps.com/pag_2024/event/2562157f06c9714c1a4dcc7037839c83 is scheduled for *Sunday, Jan. 14, at 2:10 PM.*

In addition, Ag2PI organized the workshop "*Supporting Agricultural Genomics Through Bioinformatics*" on Tuesday, Jan. 16, at 6.20 PM in room Palm 8. During the workshop, there will be a roundtable discussion about how bioinformaticians can support the agricultural genomics community in analyzing genomics data. This discussion will be led by plant and animal researchers with a mixture of bioinformatics expertise and topics include:

- current barriers to doing reproducible genomic analyses - how bioinformatics experts can more effectively support agricultural researchers - how to ensure students have the bioinformatics skills they will need - commonalities for genomic analyses across plant, animal and microbial data sets

Best regards,
