HBISS: Horizons in Biosciences & Informatics Seminar Series
Overview
The purpose of HBISS is to foster interdisciplinary conversation, education, and collaboration. Experts in biosciences and informatics are/were invited to speak once a month and engage with members of the Open Science Data Repository’s Analysis Working Group (OSDR-AWG) and the public to facilitate discussion of cutting-edge research, techniques, and methodology.
From March 2022 through February 2025, the HBISS series was designed exclusively for an internal NASA audience. Beginning in April 2025, the series was opened to the public and the broader OSDR-AWG community. To stay in the loop, join the AWG.
