For the fourth year data repositories and informatics specialists will collaborate at the Ecological Society of America's annual meeting to add a Data Help Desk (DHD) to the virtual conference space. The Arctic Data Center, Consortium of Universities for the Advancement of Hydrologic Science (CUAHSI), DataONE, Environmental Data Initiative (EDI), GBIF, iDigBio, NEON, the NEON Biorepository, and Neotoma will each engage with meeting attendees about questions, comments, and concerns using DHD partner data in their own discipline and area of research. The conference is being held virtually due from August 2 - 6, 2021.
