In October 2022, C-CoMP hosted its first in-person annual meeting at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, MA! This was a momentous occasion for C-CoMP, as it was the first time our geographically distributed members had discussions outside of a Zoom window!

Attendees were excited to meet with one another to review progress over the past year, discuss Center business, engage in professional development training, and outline future research directions and collaborations. During this meeting, we also adopted the first version of the C-CoMP Open Science Policy, the product of a center-wide collaborative effort. As we move into our second year, we will continue to promote a mechanistic understanding of the chemical currencies in marine microbial ecosystems. Thank you to all who participated in and helped to plan the meeting!

C-CoMP members gathered together at WHOI in October 2022 to meet in-person for C-CoMP's first annual meeting.
