[Nhcoll-l] Posting: NEON Bioarchive Survey

[Dave Tazik]

Hello All - A key feature of the National Ecological Observatory Network is the NEON bioarchive, which includes aquatic and terrestrial samples and specimens collected during annual sampling at each of the observatory's 47 terrestrial and 34 aquatic sites.  The bioarchive comprises vouchers specimens, whole organisms, tissues, and samples processed for chemistry, disease and genetics.  For more information, see: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.neonscience.org_data-2Dresources_archival-2Dsamples&d=DwIFAg&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=sTJIyTuF7MqLCFQRP7dIh6UCDYkuzGrwf3Pwkb5oRe8&s=e6ZkErTimppNKSHVTEAAcY_1_L9TT_VCFlHA5Q_WtYw&e= 

The overarching goal of the NEON Bioarchive is to make reference material and replicate samples available to the science and education communities for future research and retrospective studies.  The collected samples provide a rich resource for future research efforts, enabling scientists to identify organisms, analyze archived blood and tissue samples for viruses and other pathogens, and perform new isotopic, biogeochemical and microbial analyses on water and soil samples.

To that end, we have created a short survey to obtain a better sense of priorities for the bioarchive and to inform its ultimate design and operation.  If interested, you can complete the survey at:  https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.surveymonkey.com_r_N8DN7RJ&d=DwIFAg&c=-dg2m7zWuuDZ0MUcV7Sdqw&r=CLFZJ3fvGSmDp7xK1dNZfh6uGV_h-8NVlo3fXNoRNzI&m=sTJIyTuF7MqLCFQRP7dIh6UCDYkuzGrwf3Pwkb5oRe8&s=fe24iYxC4y9tvf8iV2rStUe6-iKR7MRBfmzqK-Z9jvk&e=      Please respond by Tuesday, 9 May 2017 as we will use any input received at a workshop on this topic planned for 10-11 May.
