Hello from the NSF I-Corps Program (NYU/Columbia)

[NSFICorps_EL_T2]

Hello Everyone,

I am a research scientist participating in an NSF-sponsored program called NYCRIN I-Corps, hosted jointly by Columbia University and New York University. My team and I are investigating the unique challenges facing next-gen sequencing labs. I've had the opportunity to speak to people at all levels of the sequencing ecosystem (technicians to executive directors) and have gained some valuable insights so far.

I stumbled across this forum in the midst of my research and feel incredibly lucky that it is both active and well-organized. I've checked out posts on topics similar to mine, but couldn't find anything both big-picture and recent. Instead of just dropping a list of questions on the group, does anyone have a suggestion for a preferred sub-forum to initiate this type of conversation in your community? I'd be happy with any opportunity to talk with you all, be it forum-based, email, skype/phone, etc. Thanks in advance and I look forward to learning from you!

-Kevin

I'd never heard of the NYCRIN I-Corps before, it sounds like a really interesting program. Regarding a preferred sub-forum, perhaps just "General". Realistically speaking, those of us who frequent the site just follow the site-wide list of new posts (at least I do), so it probably won't matter much.
