About the Event: This one hour webinar will include a presentation from Dr. Paul Weiss on nanotechnology data reproducibility challenges and needs, and a case study from Dr. Ewan Birney on the formation of the MinION Analysis and Reference Consortium, which aims to improve data reproducibility and reliability for the MinION nanopore sequencing device. The webinar will be the capstone event of the Fall 2015 NSI [Nanotechnology Signature Initiatives] webinar series, tying together the informatics and sensors concepts that we have been discussing over the last few months.

About the Panelists: Panelists include Dr. Ewan Birney (Director of European Bioiformatics Institute) and Dr. Paul Weiss (Distinguished Professor at UCLA and Editor-in-Chief at ACS [American Chemical Society] Nano)

I believe these webinars are open to anyone anywhere in the world.
