Regardless, I will continue to celebrate the 100s of publications citing MiGS that improve understanding of microbes. I also continue to run my lab’s facility and advise genomic analysis companies with the mission of making microbial genomics easier and more powerful for all.

Thank you for your support! (7/end) 🦠🧬
