Topic: A conversation with Bin Hu about the latest innovations in environmental microbiome research at Los Alamos.

Microbiome is the collection of microorganisms in a particular environment and is also used to refer to the combined genetic materials of the microorganisms found in a particular environment. The National Microbiome Data Collaborative (https://microbiomedata.org) is founded by DOE Office of Science to support the long-term advancement of microbiome science. Its scientific mission is to provide comprehensive access to multidisciplinary microbiome data and an initial suite of open-source bioinformatic tools for reproducible, cross-study advanced analyses. As one of the four DOE national laboratories participating NMDC, the LANL bioinformatics team is tasked with developing some of the software tools and workflows. This public talk will introduce the importance of environmental microbiome research and some computational challenges.

The On Tap is a series of discussions and libations located downtown at projectY cowork, 150 Central Park Square. Each month features one On Tap with a rotating theme of history, nature and culture hosted by the Los Alamos Historical Society and Pajarito Environmental Education Center. Science On Tap, hosted by the Bradbury Science Museum, happens every month.
