A workshop will be held at Louisiana State University, Feb. 14-17 to help integrate contemporary and future efforts in microbial biology with the vision and implementation of the National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON). NEON represents a transformative approach in ecological studies through its ability to address questions that involve large spatial scales and long time periods. The Observatory Network is especially amenable to understanding the dynamics of ecological phenomena in response to changes in climate and other human-induced environmental changes. To better inform microbial biologists about NEON and to engage them with its research, approximately 65 individuals representing diverse aspects of microbial biology will participate in a workshop with 10-15 representatives of NEON's administration and geographic domains. Participants will be provided with details about NEON's organization, goals and implementation, and will then be challenged to develop a set of research questions for microbial biology consistent with those goals. Participants will be asked to recommend observations that should be incorporated into the NEON framework, and to identify associated technological and computational needs. The organizing committee will use recommendations and associated discussions to prepare a "white paper" on options for better integrating microbial biology with NEON. The white paper will be distributed to participants in NEON and to the community of microbial biologists. Broader This workshop will include a diverse community of microbial biologists. Specific efforts will be made involve a significant fraction of junior scientists and members of underrepresented groups.

2月14日至17日，将在路易斯安那州立大学举行一个研讨会，以帮助将微生物生物学的当代和未来努力与国家生态观测网络（氖）的愿景和实施相结合。氖通过其解决涉及大空间尺度和长时间的问题的能力，代表了生态研究中的一种变革性方法。观测站网络特别适合于了解生态现象对气候变化和其他人为环境变化的动态反应。为了更好地向微生物生物学家介绍氖并使他们参与其研究，代表微生物生物学各个方面的大约65名个人将参加一个研讨会，其中有10-15名氖管理和地理领域的代表。 与会者将提供有关氖的组织，目标和实施的细节，然后将面临挑战，以制定一套与这些目标相一致的微生物生物学研究问题。将请与会者就应纳入氖框架的观测提出建议，并确定相关的技术和计算需求。组织委员会将利用建议和相关的讨论来准备一份关于更好地将微生物生物学与氖相结合的选项的“白色文件”。该白色文件将分发给氖的参与者和微生物生物学家社区。更广泛的这个研讨会将包括微生物生物学家的多元化社区。将作出具体努力，让相当一部分年轻科学家和代表性不足的群体成员参与。
