Panama 2018
The Manakin Genomics RCN meeting in Gamboa Panama is coming up soon! The meeting will be close to STRI facilities in Gamboa and the "Pipeline Road" in Parque Nacional Soberania. We expect some early morning birding, opportunities for pre- and post-meeting trips, plus some exciting workshops. In particular, several half-day workshops related to videography from all perspectives will be led by Mike Webster and Ed Scholes from Cornell, Leo Fusani from University of Vienna, Emily DuVal from Florida State University, and others. Learn about how to archive and manage large amounts of data, tips for capturing good field videos, high-speed and 3D videos, automatic processing. We also expect more opportunities to learn how to annotate genomes. Working Groups will have time to continue their activities, and we will plan for future activities of the RCN.
