Virtual Mentoring: Since we are virtual again this year we created a way to digitize some of that organic mentoring magic that happens at every conference through a new initiative: the Digital Data Mentorship Program. We will pair biodiversity professionals as mentors with emerging professionals and students as mentees and arrange an opportunity for them to speak informally about research, academia, careers, and beyond!
On February 23, 2021 at 3:00 PM EST, there will be a 1-hour webinar to provide information concerning the competition for a Center for Advancement & Synthesis of Open Environmental Data & Sciences (NSF 21-549). The webinar is hosted by the NSF Divisions of Biological Infrastructure (DBI), Environmental Biology (DEB) and the Office for Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC). Following a brief presentation, program directors will be available to answer questions from participants.

Prior to each IAC meeting, TCNs are asked to complete a quarterly progress report in the following areas:
Dear iDigBio Enthusiasts,
I am delighted to report that iDigBio enjoyed an exceptionally successful and productive 2020 made possible in large part by contributions of the many collaborators whose consistent support, involvement, and input have been highly valued and much appreciated. We enter the new year eager to continue integral involvement in the biodiversity collections community.
