The cavalry is coming. Scientists are developing vaccines, trialling treatments, tracking and tracing the spread of #covid19 with genome sequencing and phylogenetics. You can help them. Stay inside, slow the spread. Buy them time.

Two open PhD positions in my group ETH Zurich. Please RT.

Quick read on planning your postdoc. The question is: how to do career planing with current mobility restrictions and uncertainty?

A must read at the end of Pride month🏳️‍🌈: "LGBTQ+ identity is just one way of classifying social oppression, and it may intersect with other forms such as sexism, racism, ableism and classism." I wonder what initiatives exist across your research institutions to address this.

New Black Mirror episode out now (Science Edition). This is very disturbing...

Check our recent work on Salmonella resistance dynamics using public genomes. Huge effort thanks to Thomas Van Boeckel, Jana S. Huisman, and Sebastian Bonhoeffer! If you can't find your genome herein, make sure to submit the metadata next time!

Check our recent work on tracking AMR in E. coli using public genomes! You can also check how bias in public data affect our estimates. Thanks to the great support of Thomas Van Boeckel, Sebastian Bonhoeffer and Jana S. Huisman

In cultures of arrogance, people get rewarded for expressing certainty and conviction. The most confident speaker claims the most status. In cultures of humility, people are applauded for admitting ignorance and asking questions. The most complex thinker earns the most respect.

SAVE-THE-DATE! The next Global Microbial Identifier meeting (GMI13) on microbial data sharing will be held in downtown Vancouver, Canada on September 13-15 2023 (both in-person and online). Program and registration details will be available soon at gmi13.org.

Finally!

Can we talk about bullying in academia. Man, I’m just tired.

On 13-14 March, the Statens Serum Institut fellows in 🇩🇰 welcomed #EPIET #EUPHEM fellows & facilitators from 🇸🇪, 🇳🇴 & 🇫🇮 for the annual Nordic Mini Project Review Module. Fruitful discussions set the base for strengthening collaborations between the Nordic Public Health Institutes.

Happy to share the work ‘Global scenario of the RmtE pan-aminoglycoside-resistance mechanism: emergence of the rmtE4 gene in South America associated with a hospital-related IncL plasmid’ doi.org/10.1099/mgen.0… Thanks to ARU Antimicrobial Resistance Unit, Centre for Genomic Pathogen Surveillance and IIBCAUDO for making it possible!

Webinar Announcement 📌 27 March 2024 📅 16:00 - 17:00 UTC ⏰ Best Practices for Public Health #Bioinformatics Pipelines🧬💻 Speaker: Kevin G. Libuit - Theiagen Genomics🎙️ Registration: us06web.zoom.us/webinar/regist… #PHA4GE #PublicHealth #Genomics

Integrating different types of data across sectors can be challenging. The Canadian One Health AMR genomics contextual data standard, built in partnership with the Can gov't, is readily adapted for international use and supports public data sharing. #GRDI osf.io/preprints/osf/…

Extremely happy to have participated in the first ever Klebsiella Epidemiology and Biology Symposium #KLEBS2024 organized at home Institut Pasteur, since 1887 by Sylvain Brisse and @chcrestani. Can't wait for the next one to discuss more about this fascinating bacteria with so many friends!
