Update: The application period has concluded and selections will be made later this month. Thank you to everyone to applied! The application period is now open for our March 2023 workshop! We encourage you to apply for this NSF-sponsored learning, networking, and adventuring opportunity. The workshop will be held Amazonas, Brazil from 13-21 March 2023. Participants will tour the INPA facility at the initiation of the workshop and the remaining week will be on boats navigating the Rio Negro with…

As the RCN heads into its final year, we want to remind all our members that the final workshop is still happening! We're continuing to finalize everything with our (floating) event hosts, and will be opening the application form in December! March 2023 - Amazonas, Brazil   Stay tuned!

Dr. Irene Kaplow, Carnegie Mellon ‘Relating enhancer genetic variation across mammals to complex phenotypes using machine learning’

Dr. Mira Han, University of Nevada Las Vegas ‘Learning the effect of 3D genome organization on gene expression’

Dr. Kathleen Keough, Fauna Bio ‘Genome evolution over multiple timescales and dimensions'

Dr. Jason Podrabsky, Portland State University ‘Epigenetic regulation of development, dormancy, and stress tolerance in a vertebrate extremophile’

Any RCN members interested in attending the upcoming workshop at UNLV, Accessing Approaches to Study Epigenetic Regulation, should register as soon as possible if they'll be requesting travel funding from the RCN. Selections will likely be made around mid-April and the option to apply will be removed from the registration form at that time. We hope to see you there!

Looking to join us in Las Vegas this summer for the 2022 RCN Workshop -- Accessing Approaches to Study Epigenetic Regulation? The dates are now locked in (June 6th & 7th, 2022) and our members can register using our online form Updates and announcements (confirmed speakers, agenda, etc.) will be posted here - stay tuned!

Our 2022 workshop, Accessing Approaches to Study Epigenetic Regulation, has been tentatively scheduled for June 6th and 7th, at the University of Nevada Las Vegas. We will open registrations in the next month or two, after some initial planning meetings. Updates will be posted here and on the RCN's Twitter. We hope to see you there!

For our RCN members who couldn't make this year's workshop at the Broad Institute, we'll be posting links to recordings of all the guest speakers' presentations here on the RCN website, and our Twitter account, as soon as they become available. Here's the Cambridge Workshop Agenda, for a list of those talks. We'll post updates everywhere once registrations open for the 2022 Workshop in Las Vegas. We hope by then there won't be as much of an attendance capacity issue…

RCN g2p2pop Members -- Funding selections for the upcoming Cambridge Workshop have been made, and those selected will be notified via email this week. Please note that due to very limited attendance capacity at the workshop venue (pandemic-related), we are only able to fund and send a portion of those who applied to the workshop. Thank you!
