International Workshop Series: How does sharing genetic sequence data
impact biodiversity science and conservation?



With support from the National Science Foundation, the American Institute
of Biological Sciences and the USA Nagoya Protocol Action Group are
organizing an online workshop series to explore how the international
scientific community can study biodiversity in the changing landscape of
international policy.  Registration is now open for the first two sessions
scheduled for October 27 and 29, 2021. Stay tuned for information about
additional sessions in this series. Visit the series page:

*Emerging Pathogen Research Across the Americas*



Digital Sequence Information (DSI), such as genetic sequence data, play a
critical role in understanding and addressing infectious diseases. DSI
about pathogens provides key information, such as mutation rate,
provenance, and migration trajectories, which can all enable disease
management in a variety of systems. Furthermore, exemplary research on
zika, lyme disease, malaria, and SARS viruses have relied on international
partnerships. Join this virtual workshop to recognize and document the
value of DSI for infectious disease research.



*Date*: October 27, 2021

*Time*: 1:00 - 3:00 PM EST or 5:00 - 7:00 PM UTC (this program will be
recorded)

*Location*: Online via Zoom

*Hosted by:* American Society of Mammalogists, Natural Science Collections
Alliance & Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections

*The Role of International Collaborations in Resolving Viral Diseases of
Cassava in Africa*



Despite decades of work around the world to address cassava viral diseases,
which are among the most devastating crop diseases in Africa, we are only
just beginning to understand the complexity of the system. Continued
international collaboration – and particularly robust inclusion of
researchers on the continent, as well as sharing of data among labs around
the world – will be critical to advance the research toward disease
mitigation or prevention.



*Date*: October 29, 2021

*Time*: 9:00 - 11:00 AM EST or 1:00 - 3:00 PM UTC (this program will be
recorded)

*Location*: Online via Zoom

*Hosted by:* American Society of Plant Biologists
