✨We are so excited to announce our 2023 - 2024 Ambassador cohort! ✨These early-career researchers work across the United States. 🦠They will receive dedicated training on data management and metadata standards and lead workshops. Learn more! microbiomedata.org/ambassadors/

Honored to serve as a NMDC (National Microbiome Data Collaborative) Ambassador for 2023-2024! I'm excited to be part of a cohort that seeks to make microbiome data accessible, open, and reusable!🦠

I am thrilled and honored to share that my U.S. National Science Foundation #PRFB was recommended for funding! I'll be exploring genomic/metagenomic mechanisms of flood tolerance in maize and Tripsacum. This funding allows me to continue working with the amazing Maggie R Wagner - KU Ecology & Evolutionary Biology Kansas Bio Survey & Center for Ecological Research

Join us Friday for this semesters first soil/plant microbiome talk from @Botanichole. 🦠🌿🌽 Dr. Ginnan will also highlight current Microbiome Center projects and activities.

Meet Joel Swift one of our 2023 National Microbiome Data Collaborative Ambassadors. Learn more about our NMDC Ambassador cohort, please visit our main webpage: microbiomedata.org/ambassadors/

I had an incredible time at the KU Center for Genomics symposium last Friday! Grateful for the opportunity to share my work, learn about the awesome research going on at KU and the surrounding community, and make new connections. Thank you to the organizers for the invitation 😀
