[Nhcoll-l] Webinar Series Announcement

[Nelson,Gil]

Please accept our invitation to a 3-part webinar series (March 7, 14, 21; 1:00 p.m. Eastern) focused on Envisioning a Biological Collections Action Center as proposed in the recent NASEM report (see list of organizers below) and authorized by the CHIPS and Science Act. The first two webinars (7 and 14 March) will feature co-authors of the NASEM report, including Pam Soltis, Andy Bentley, Joe Cook, Scott Edwards, Talia Karim, Shirley Pomponi, and Barbara Thiers, sharing their personal visions for the Action Center. The third webinar (21 March) will feature Scott Miller, Kevin Hackett, and Diane DiEuliis from the Interagency Working Group on Scientific Collections (IWGSC), Jyotsna Pandey (AIBS), and Breda Zimkus (BCoN, MCZ). We anticipate that the third webinar will be a response to the NASEM report presentations and include several presentations followed by discussion/Q&A.  All webinars will be held from 1-2 p.m. Eastern.
