• learning how to register samples with a unique and persistent identifier and connecting them to data publications and datasets;
• best practices for keeping samples safe and accessible for the long term;
• easy-to-implement techniques to effectively communicate through visualization the rich information resource your samples represent;
• identifying relevant institutional repositories for your sample data;
• how professional organizations and publishers are facilitating information connectivity and responsible sample management;
• demonstrating how sample management can serve as a basis for a great Data Management Plan;
