Community-specific, up-to-the-minute news, insightful articles, thought-provoking podcasts, upcoming meetings, and much more will also be delivered through GENconnect™. Additionally, GENconnect's unique Project Collaboration Tool (PCT) allows users to establish collaborations with specific GENconnect™ members to work on projects together. Collaborators can share information related to those projects in various file types, set up poject deadlines, and track project success.
