NSF Dr. Collins' NEON Talk Part 4: Large-scale infrastructure for the biological sciences

Topics covered include: (1) Access to the NEON infrastructure and how NSF is planning to foster NEON-related PI research via the Macrosystem Biology (MRRGS) solicitation. (2) Frontier of mathematics associated with tipping points in environmental, geosciences, economic, and social systems, and its applicability to integrate across scales of analyses. (3) Is the community at a tipping point where NEON will enable a new way of approaching how larger knowledge domains are linked together, and how the issue of connectivity through space and time will spur innovations in science and mathematics. (4) The need for innovative training for students.
