Taken from Twitterverse but important for the #virology community. Glasgow virology workshop, 30th March 2023. Alain Kohl shared details. Hoping to go myself again, always a superb meeting!

I am very much looking forward to welcoming Prof Sharon Peacock to the University of Birmingham on Tue 23 November for her Grace Frankland Lecture: 'Pathogen sequencing: time to shoot for the stars?'

This lecture celebrates the memory of Grace Frankland (1858-1946), particularly her research in microbiology and public health and her advocacy for gender equality in science.

The downfall of society has been accelerated exponentially by the new blue verified Twitter. And it’s been tweeted in real time. Wild.
