The most popular platform for SARS-CoV-2 genome data, GISAID, is in crisis. I talked to scientists from eight countries about the future of pathogen-genome sharing. Here are a few highlights of my latest story for @Nature https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-01517-9 (1/6)

Really happy to be back at ABPHM this year! Looks like a great program!

Great Q from @BillHanage on "convos about metadata" from @Dr_Patiyan's talk on bioinformatics coordination in Australia.
Patiyan says this is critical & more than "trust us", but clarifying "here's what we can do if we have it, here's what we can't do if we don't". #ABPHM23

If you're at #ABPHM23 and interested in making awesome pan-genome graphs, be sure to stop by & chat to @mrcmolari from @richardneher's lab about PanGraph during the showcase! 📊📉🦠⭕

📢📢📢Coming soon⌛️⌛️⌛️:
The XVIth international @nidovirus2023 symposium in beautiful Montreux this May🤩🤩🤩.
Do not miss an exciting talk from Emma Hodcroft @firefoxx66 on #Genomics, #genetics #Diversity & #evolution 🧬🧬🧬

I’m probably always going to wear a kf94 or kn95 when flying. I see no compelling evidence showing that getting sick on a business trip or vacation is better than wearing a mask for a couple hours.

Our perspective on wastewater surveillance came out in @sciencemagazine a few days back. If you're interested in genomic surveillance for COVID-19 or pretty much any infectious pathogen (including bacteria and protists), definitely make sure to check it out! We discuss recent advances, limitations of current approaches, exciting new directions for research, and the types of methods we'll need to develop to further expand our capabilities. https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ade2503
