A few weeks ago, I shared information about the availability of the report "Life Cycle Decisions for Biomedical Data: The Challenge of Forecasting Costs, produced by a National Academies Committee that I had the pleasure of participating in. Members of the committee will be offering a briefing on this on July 20. There is no charge, but you'll need to register at
