Do you study wildlife disease? Don't just share your sequences - share your testing data! We've developed a minimum data standard and an R package to help you, and wrote a little how-to-share-data handbook for disease ecology and One Health surveillance projects 🦇🦟🦠🗺️🔢

I'm adding a "using AI" component to my BioCS class.

The goal is not to build neutral networks, but to educate users on how to write effective queries, validate output, etc. What resources and/or assignments are out there already?
