The Plant Cell Atlas (PCA) has a variety of outreach activities to support our mission: to build a diverse scientific community that will set standards for generating and integrating large plant data sets, create high-quality resources and tools to advance plant science, and provide excellent networking and interdisciplinary training opportunities for early career scientists.
