- Publication of the report from the Genebank Training Workshop co-hosted by USDA-ARS National Laboratory for Genetic Resources Preservation (NLGRP) and Colorado State University entitled ‘Training in Plant Genetic Resources Management A Way Forward’ by G.M. Volk, D. Namuth-Covert and P.F. Byrne, 2019. Crop Science 59:853–857 doi:10.2135/cropsci2018.11.0689. Funding of $1,000 was received from the National Association of Plant Breeders (NAPB) to publish this as an Open Access paper.
- One of the outcomes of the Genebank Training Workshop was the ‘Survey on Plant Genetic Resources Learning Materials’, conducted in March 2019. Results of the survey were summarized in a manuscript accepted for publication in Crop Science.
- Publication ‘Science-graphic art partnerships to increase research impact’ by Khoury et al (2019) Communication Biology 2:295, reported outcomes of “The Speaking Science” workshop (http://news.cornell.edu/stories/2018/07/workshop-trains-plant-scientists-communicate-science). Workshop was supported by CALS and the Alliance for Science.
