Hello all,

In conjunction with the *Museums and Emerging Pathogens in the Americas
(MEPA <https://hsc.unm.edu/medicine/education/echo/emerging-pathogens/>)*
Community
of Practice, we are accepting applications
<https://forms.gle/GRysLNgdtRikzq317> for an in-person *Field+Genomics
Workshop*  at the *Otongachi Field Station* in Ecuador *October 28 -
November 6th, 2024*.

The workshop will train participants from diverse countries, backgrounds,
and career stages in voucher-backed field surveillance and holistic
preservation of mammal specimens and genomic sequencing methods.
Participants will conduct field-based surveillance of small mammals,
perform DNA extractions, library preparation, Nanopore Adaptive Sampling,
and basic bioinformatics in the field. The workshop will be conducted
mostly in English, with Spanish support available.

Transportation from QCAZ (Quito) to Otongachi will be provided on Oct 28th
and Nov 6th. Lodging and meals at Otongachi are provided during the
workshop (Oct 28 - Nov 6). Depending on the cost, partial or total
international airfare for participants attending from other countries in
Latin America will be covered.

*Please APPLY HERE <https://forms.gle/GRysLNgdtRikzq317> or share with
others who may be interested.*
**Up to 10 participants will be selected based on application strength,
with priority given to registered and active MEPA
<https://hsc.unm.edu/medicine/education/echo/emerging-pathogens/> participants.
Field workshop participants must be physically able to hike 2 km in the
jungle carrying 18 kg.  Participants may elect to participate in only the
field component (Oct 28 - Nov 3), only the Nanopore component (Nov 2 - Nov
6), or the entire 9-day workshop series (Oct 28 - Nov 6). *

This MEPA-based workshop is being collaboratively led by researchers from
QCAZ (The Museum of Zoology of the Pontificia Universidad Católica del
Ecuador [PUCE]), CISeAL (Center for Health Research in Latin America,
PUCE), the University of New Mexico, and the University of Kansas
Biodiversity Institute (KUBI).

Thank you for considering, feel free to share,
Jocelyn
