First SARS-CoV-2 Argentina genomes generated at ANLIS Malbrán. Amazing group effort from respiratory viruses and our group. Special 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻to Tomás Poklépovich Federico L. Ezequiel and Joha from UK. Very proud for this team. No resting, more genomes generated right now!

A fantastic achievement! Our good friend Josefina Campos from the Malbrán Institute Josefina Campos has just uploaded today the first Argentinian Covid19 genome sequence, putting her country on the global response map. Who came to see her to say well done: only the President!

Many congratulations Doog, quite some achievement and never more relevant than it is now!! sabin.org/sabin-gold-med… [sabin.org]

We are looking to recruit those interested in analytical approaches to tracking infectious diseases using mobile phone data or interrogating the respiratory microbiome. U would work with the foremost experts in the field. See (sanger.ac.uk/about/careers/…)

Very pleased to see this multi disciplined team effort up, we combined sequencing and mobile phone data to show the impact of large-scale migration in Bangladesh when workplaces closed. Essential that genomic surveillance capacity is increased globally medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Starting to visible darn, patch and embroider this very damaged 19th century gown as part of a series telling the story of cholera past and future with Nicholas Thomson The National Collection of Type Cultures. As part of my Arts Council England supported Collateral Effects project

Great paper now out from Grace Blackwell ! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Grace wanted to study MGEs across the bacterial phylogeny, so assembled 661,405 bacterial genomes (all data from ENA as of Nov 2018, minus those failing QC), providing the community with a great resource. 1/n

Many congratulations to my friend and long time colleague Sam Kariuki, Royal Society Pfizer Prize winner. A great scientist and mentor of many. His work on Salmonella disease and AMR in Africa alone is world leading.

Can I express my heart felt congratulations to François-Xavier Weill, MD, PhD of the Institut Pasteur for his recent promotion to Professor. There is no better ID scientist than FX. His name brings great prestige to the rank and I am over the moon for him - about time too.

Used genome-sequencing show Liberia #Yaws cases form distinct clade & are distinct from Non-Human Primate samples neighbouring Cote d'Ivoire

Very interesting lecture on the diversity and transmission dynamics of syphilis from @typeMAT12. I can never look at Mickey Mouse the same way 😂 #PathogenGenomics #LSHTM

Can I draw your attention to: sanger.ac.uk/about/equality… It's a brilliant scheme aimed at bringing women and men who have taken a career break back into research. It's so easy to lose talented experienced scientists. I would welcome suitable candidates into my group. Please retweet

Ever needed a new fresh take on an old concept, see Dr Horesh's latest offering - pretty cool! microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…

Congratulations Grace. This is an important contribution enabling better access to the data we have all contributed to the global databases. I say to understand the biases in the data is to identify the opportunities for biological insight. Great study well done.
