Hello AgBioData community,

We are happy to announce that the sign-up for AgBioData working groups is now OPEN! *Please complete this form https://forms.gle/MeZZrCeSvUywxkQo6 by November 22 at 12 p.m. ET to join one or more of our working groups.*

We will have two new working groups starting from January 2023, which are the "*Phenotypic Data Standardization and Management*" and the "*scRNAseq BIOCURATION*" working groups.

Two current working groups (i.e., the *DEI Recruiting* and *FAIR Scientific Literature WGs*) are also recruiting new members to join their incredible efforts. You can find more details about them in the form.

*We anticipate the commitment will generally be between 2-6 hours per month*, including meeting attendance and offline work (e.g., literature, writing, etc.).

This is your opportunity to shape the future of our research community by contributing to developing best practices of data archiving and management that can benefit you and all the other stakeholders. Participating in the AgBioData working groups will also offer you opportunities for

- professional networking - leadership skill development - authorship in impactful manuscripts

Please share the registration link with anybody that you think can be interested.

Thanks,

Annarita
