[Cyverse.Nappn] AG2PI field day: date change

[Scott, Nicole M [AGRON]]

Dear NAPPN community member,

In light of yesterday's events at the US Capitol, the presidential inauguration on January 20 is taking on a much bigger meaning. To accommodate those who wish to witness the historic event, we have decided to postpone our field day to the following week. January 27.

Please share this updated information with your members. I have attached an updated flyer and include an updated invitation to join below.

*********
The Agricultural Genome to Phenome Initiative (AG2PI) is hosting its next Field Day on Wednesday, January 27 from 10:30 AM to 12:00 PM (Central Standard Time). This field day will focus on the implementation of genomic selection in dairy cattle, including genotyping, phenotyping, and data sharing, and the associated challenges. In the first half of the session, Dr. George Wiggans, technical advisor for Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding, will present on implementation of genomic selection in dairy cattle. In the second half, we will hear from Drs. Miel Hostens, Assistant Professor of Veterinary Medicine at University of Utrecht, and Joao Dorea, Assistant Professor of Precision Agriculture & Data Analytics at University of Wisconsin-Madison, on the future of phenotyping in dairy cattle and the associated challenges.

We invite you to register for this Zoom event at https://tinyurl.com/AG2PI-FD4. Upon registration, you will receive a confirmation email with information about joining the meeting. A link to join the meeting will also be provided the day of the event on the AG2PI website<ag2pi.org>. If you are unable to attend the live session, then you will be able to find a recording at ag2pi.org/<https://www.ag2pi.org/>, at a later date. Space IS limited, so register soon.

Feel free to share this message with colleagues within your organization. If you have any questions, please direct them to Eddy Yeh at eddyyeh at iastate.edu<mailto:eddyyeh at iastate.edu>.

Kind regards,
Nicole
