The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is pleased to announce two more virtual workshops in February. The NCBI Education Team invites you to apply and share these opportunities with any colleagues who may be interested. Our NCBI Virtual Workshops series was developed last fall to expand our reach to individuals who use NCBI resources for biological/biomedical research, science education, and clinical application efforts.

Listed below are two upcoming virtual workshops that are now accepting applications. Please review the workshop descriptions to understand the intended audience. Each workshop will accept a limited number of participants to facilitate the best possible educational experience. Applicants will be informed of their status at least two weeks before the event.

More information can be found on the new Outreach Events page of the NCBI Insights Blog.
