The ultimate goal of this RCN is to dramatically improve the discovery, access, sharing, analysis, and curation of physical samples and the data generated by their study for the benefit of science and society. The iSamplES and C4P (Collaboration and Cyberinfrastructure for Paleogeoscience) RCNs will be holding a joint event at AGU for early career scientists who deal with samples in their research. The* iSamplES and C4P Early Career Forum* is a lunchtime forum to meet and discuss the plans and challenges of creating and storing digital sample information, whether earth materials samples are solid, liquid, or gas, or even experimental run products. We will chat about developing best practices for sampling and preserving sample information to make our growing collections easily manageable and more useful. *When: *Thursday December 18, 2014 12:15pm-13:45pm *Where:* At AGU, San Francisco, CA Lunch will be provided, plus a limited number of stipends (cost of Early registration) will be available to those who register for and participate in the forum. This forum is for graduate students and early career scientists (those within 5 years of completion of a PhD). The project is sponsored by the NSF Earthcube Research Coordination Networks iSamplES and C4P (Collaboration and Cyberinfrastructure for Paleogeoscience) and the results will help guide planning and development of an “internet of physical samples” for the earth sciences.
