[Nhcoll-l] IMLS Genomics in Collections Workshop 12-14 March 2020

[Kim Ballare]

Dear SPNHC Members,



Beth Shapiro (Paleogenomics Lab, UC Santa Cruz), Brian Simison (Center for
Comparative Genomics, California Academy of Sciences), and I (Paleogenomics
Lab, UC Santa Cruz) are organizing a workshop on genomic techniques and
challenges, sponsored by the Institute for Museum and Library Services. This
workshop is specifically aimed at researchers and curators with little or
no experience in genetic/genomic work, to enable them to utilize emerging
DNA sequencing technologies and facilitate genomic research in natural
history collections. We will hold the workshop at the *California Academy
of Sciences in San Francisco from 12-14 March, 2020.*


We have a fantastic line-up of speakers, hands-on demonstrations, and panel
discussions, including a keynote talk by genomicist Dr. Ed Green, who was
the first to sequence the complete Neanderthal genome. Admission to the Cal
Academy public exhibits and NightLife
<https://www.calacademy.org/nightlife>event
(21+) on Thursday 12th is included in the workshop registration.


Please follow the link below to see the full schedule and to register. Feel
free to contact me directly if you have any questions.
