Action item: Contact to have “5000 Insect Genomes” changed to include “i5K”.
- EBP is also asking for i5k-related publications. If you have an i5k-related paper to share with EBP, please let me know!
- Featured Discussion: Updates and discussion on i5k tasks and roles for recruitment.
- In our featured discussion, each working group will revisit the list of tasks and roles that we have distributed. We will discuss what the working groups have come up with, and will address any questions or concerns that may have arisen in the process. Then, we will discuss how best to proceed with completing and disseminating the list to the larger community.
