Hello everyone,

We have our next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Call on Tuesday, July 27, 2021 at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 16:00 UTC / 6pm CEST (Time zone converter<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20210727T160000&p1=tz_pt&p2=tz_et&p3=1440&p4=tz_cest>). Andra Waagmeester will be joining us to share work on using Shape Expressions in Wikidata to describe the genomics of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
