Meeting: Phenome 2017, Tucson, Arizona

Phenome 2017会议将于2017年2月10日至14日在亚利桑那州图森市举行。该国际会议旨在成为一个年度会议场所，展示和加速基础研究以及高通量植物表型领域的新型遥感器，成像技术和机器人技术的发展。 会议将汇集具有基础植物系统生物学，表观遗传学，定量遗传学以及代谢和网络分析方面专业知识的科学家，以及计算科学和工程领域的科学家，以确定将研究成果转化为公共利益所需的挑战和需求。Phenome 2017是国家植物科学理事会（NPSC）和美国植物生物学家协会（ASPB）的共同努力。因此，组织者将能够利用现有资源保持低成本，以便资金有限的人参加。来自NSF的资金将通过支持研究生，博士后和初级教师，特别是妇女，少数民族和代表性不足的群体的参与来扩大会议的范围。

The Phenome 2017 Conference will be held February 10-14, 2017 in Tucson, Arizona. This international meeting intends to be an annual venue to both showcase and accelerate basic research and the development of novel remote sensors, imaging technologies, and robotics in the field of high throughput plant phenotyping. The meeting will bring together scientists with expertise in fundamental plant systems biology, epigenetics, quantitative genetics, and metabolic and network analyses with those in the fields of computational science, and engineering to identify the challenges and needs required to translate research findings for the public good. Phenome 2017 is a joint effort of the National Plant Science Council (NPSC) and the American Society of Plant Biologists (ASPB). As such, the organizers will be able to leverage existing resources to keep costs low to allow for participation of those with limited funds. Funding from NSF will broaden the scope of the meeting by supporting participation of graduate students, postdocs and junior faculty, especially women, minorities, and underrepresented groups.
