dkNET team will be attending the ASCB/EMBO (the American Society for Cell Biology and European Molecular Biology Organization) Annual Meeting Cell Bio Virtual 2021! We will be hosting two networking sessions at the ASCB/EMBO Annual Meeting Cell Bio Virtual 2021! Come join us to discuss challenges in using bioinformatics tools for bench researchers, and learn about FAIR data and new NIH mandates on data management and sharing.

Schedule

Networking Session: Challenges in Using Bioinformatics Tools for Bench Researchers

The last decade has seen significant growth in the number of online bioinformatics tools and data resources. Discovering and learning how to use these publicly available bioinformatics resources can be a challenge for bench scientists. In this session, we will discuss these challenges, how the community can help, and resources that can help researchers, educators, or trainees learn how to use these online resources or bioinformatics tools.

Target Audience: All attendees, particularly bench scientists, educators who provide instruction on bioinformatics tools, or bioinformaticians who are interested in their tools being used more by the researcher community.

Tuesday, December 7, 2021, 10:00 AM - 10:45 AM PST

Networking Session: FAIR Data and You: Are you ready for 2023?

On January 25, 2023 the new NIH Policy for Data Management and Sharing will come into effect. The new policy will require all NIH funded researchers to develop a data management and sharing plan. It is expected that “scientific data should be made accessible as soon as possible, and no later than the time of an associated publication, or the end of the award/support period, whichever comes first.” Are you ready? Do you have appropriate data management practices in place? You are not alone! In this networking session, we will discuss the challenges that researchers are facing with data management and sharing, and introduce resources that could help you comply with these new mandates. Participants can share experiences about what challenges they face and can share potential solutions.

Target Audience: All participants are welcome to join, particularly biomedical researchers, grant applicants, trainees, and educators. 

Session Leaders: Drs. Jeffrey Grethe and Ko-Wei Lin
