Organizing Intercalibration Efforts for BioGeoSCAPES: A Panel Discussion, January 25

Posted by mmaheigan 
· Tuesday, January 17th, 2023 

Producing data that can be effectively compared across space and time is a critical aspect of developing a collaborative international microbial biogeochemistry program. Intercalibration activities involving validation of precision and accuracy and development of intercomparison standards are foundational to the production of interoperable data. With BioGeoSCAPES aiming to launch mid-decade, further progress must be made to ensure high-quality data collection. This virtual panel will include perspectives from a variety of communities (nucleic acids, metabolomics, proteomics, rates) and encourage brainstorming through small group discussions. This panel discussion initiates important discussions and community-building in preparation for an international BioGeoSCAPES science planning workshop in Woods Hole, MA USA (tentatively scheduled for Fall 2023).
