Session Description: This workshop is for graduate students and early-career scientists. We have invested so much in the GRIN, but this vast resource has not been fully utilized. We have invited USDA curators as speakers/instructors for the workshop. Each speaker will give 10 presentation, then tutor a group of 5-6 attendants, all attendants need to bring their own computers. It is more practicing than lecturing. Participants are limited to 40 people.
