NY/NJ Regional Node Meeting
June 3 | Hybrid
In the morning, Dr. Shubha Govind has generously volunteered to give a hands-on introductory workshop on working with parasitoid wasps including husbandry protocol to maintain on Drosophila stocks, identifying adult males and females, dissecting Drosophila larvae and identifying wasp eggs and larvae. In the afternoon, faculty and students will present on their implementations and annotations from the 2021/2022 academic year.
Contact Rebecca Spokony for more information.
Alumni Workshop 2022
June 7–10, 10a-4p (CT) | Virtual
The GEP Alumni Workshop held each summer is an important time for the partnership to gather and reflect on the prior academic year and plan for the future. Alumni Workshops include discussions of implementation, professional development to update and enhance members’ knowledge of bioinformatics and genomics, review of GEP’s scientific projects, numerous working group options, and opportunities to network with one another.
WHO: ALL GEP members are encouraged to attend, especially our newest members!
WHERE: Virtually via Zoom

July 2022 New Member Training Cohort 1
July 6–9 | Washington University in St. Louis
New Member Training will help faculty integrate GEP curriculum materials into existing courses and engage their students in scientific research through Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) centered in genomics. Those who complete the training become members of our Partnership and thus are expected to implement GEP materials in one of their classes.
WHO: Especially welcome faculty from Community Colleges, MSIs, & PUIs teaching courses in genetics, genomics, bioinformatics, molecular biology, evolution, or introductory biology
WHERE: Washington University in St. Louis; All costs including travel & lodging will be covered by our NIH grant.
Please note that we strongly encourage trainees to complete the Understanding Eukaryotic Genes modules prior to attending the training. These modules will allow trainees to start to learn the tools GEP uses for gene annotation. An overview and timeline for implementing these modules is available on CourseSource.
July 2022 New Member Training Cohort 2
July 11-22, 2-3:30p (CT) | Virtual
