This is an effort to look at -omics data from plant space flights to parse microbial-associated molecular patterns. ---

Is this going to be discussed at this upcoming Wednesday’s [@MicrobesAWG](https://awg.osdr.space/groups/microbesawg) mtg 1st Wednesday/mo 10a-11a PT? @daniela.bezdan @ben.sikes @dr.richard.barker ---

I don’t know that we have set an agenda for the meeting @rtscott2001. @daniela.bezdan was traveling I know and we needed to cancel our last meeting. I would be happy to give an update on this project if desired. @dr.richard.barker and @Zerrin, would you be willing to go through some of your results during the meeting as well? Combined, this might take up a big chunk of the meeting so maybe I should wait to see if @daniela.bezdan already has a plan for the meeting (perhaps rescheduled from last time)? ---

Sure, i haven’t heard from @daniela.bezdan, so always happy to adapt to her plans ( 🙂 ) but note I am happy to provide a little update on @Zerrin’s analysis (&/or support Zerrin’s presentation of it if time zones allow). Note, that it’s still preliminary data and is an ongoing analysis but I think it’s about to reach a “reflection point”, so even though the final narrative is not complete I still believe it will be useful to discuss to help identify loose ends and potential solutions. Cheers, DRB ---

Is there a way to keep track of the meetings? I am in a couple of AWG groups but I don’t have a calendar of scheduled meetings. ---

For the moment, all the meeting times are listed in [The AWG Member Hub](https://awg.osdr.space/g) But you raise a very good point. This Forum-Space does HS the ability to enable a calendar plugin. I need to read more and get that dialed in. Someone else raised the idea too @rachelrgilbert so now that I hear that from you as well, that tells me it would helps Thank you! ---

Hi @nicholas.brereton @ben.sikes - sorry I was only able to briefly join the meeting on this project yesterday. What was the outcome? ---

No worries, @rtscott2001. I was late because of a kidmergency but all good. We had a good discussion about the science and process we want to move forward with. For the Open Life Science pages here, did you have insights on how better we can organize a collaborative topic/project like this Plant-Microbe AWG one? We currently have a lot of different ways we are communicating and I’m worried about overload/loss. For example, I’m polling to schedule meetings with WhenIsGood, we’re using Google Drive for data, papers, and meeting minutes collection, @dr.richard.barker has taken a good bit of what we’ve done and put it in GitBook alongside early results. How do you think this communication tool can help in all that? ---

Shoot. Yeah, as much as possible I’d suggest leveraging this thread, but also keeping the “AWG Group Member Hub” updated: [Open Science Data Repository AWG Community](https://awg.osdr.space/g) Microbe: [https://awg.osdr.space/g/MicrobesAWG](https://awg.osdr.space/g/MicrobesAWG) Plant: [https://awg.osdr.space/g/PlantAWG](https://awg.osdr.space/g/PlantAWG) As the AWG overall (just about 600 now), climbs towards 1000, we’re really hoping (and day by day confident), this forum-space will be the central place for general communications – BUT where GitHubs, google docs, etc can be shared. There is a polling/voting option on meeting times here in Discourse. But I havent used it yet (calendar icon) ---

The meeting will be Tuesday, April 15th at 3PM GMT/11AM EDT/8AM PDT. We’ve made good progress on the roadmap manuscript, as well as our analyses of RNA-seq data from previous plant flight experiments. We’ll provide those updates, map out where help is needed for next steps, and try to set a more regular time to meet. If you can’t make this time but want to be part of these efforts,… ---
