Pollinating

Education, engagement, and connection

Custom Workshop on Publishing eDNA Data
$175/hour x 12 hours = $2,100

Scenario: Your research lab has completed several eDNA sampling projects and wants to publish the data to GBIF and other biodiversity repositories. The Data Patch designs and delivers a half-day workshop tailored to your team’s workflow and data types:

  • reviewing relevant standards (Darwin Core, MIxS, GGBN extensions) for eDNA observations
  • walking through real examples from your projects to demonstrate data structuring and mapping
  • addressing lab-specific questions about metadata requirements and quality control
  • providing follow-up resources and publishing checklists

We help your team move from sequences and observations to shareable, citable datasets that contribute to global biodiversity monitoring and research.

In any garden, pollinators help everything grow stronger through connection. We can play a similar role in your data ecosystem, helping communities learn from each other and cultivate shared practices.

Whether you’re looking to train your team, bring together a working group, or strengthen ties across organizations, we help create the conditions for collaboration to flourish.

What you get:

  • Custom workshops on biological data standardization, designed for your community’s specific needs
  • Working group facilitation to keep collaborative efforts on track
  • Data development discussions for small teams navigating standards and workflows
  • Stakeholder engagement that brings the right voices to the table

Healthy ecosystems depend on connection. We help communities cross-pollinate ideas, standards, and expertise so everyone’s work can thrive.
