My 8yo came across my bound thesis in the basement, "read" it, and spontaneously wrote me this note. I will now be listing her as a suggested reviewer for all my manuscript submissions. ❤️

Thanks to #opendata sharing by Erasmus MC Marion Koopmans, publications: https://pure.eur.nl Reina Sikkema Bas Oude Munnink Richard Molenkamp & GISAID Initiative we've updated nextstrain.org/ncov with *48* new #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 #HCoV19 sequences from the Netherlands - a total of 73 dutch seqs! They are positioned across the tree.

How cute is to start paper or #ribosome frameshifting with an 'AUG' codon

"Genetic structure of SARS-CoV-2 reflects clonal superspreading and multiple independent introduction events, North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany, February and March 2020" - now peer-reviewed and out in Eurosurveillance eurosurveillance.org/content/10.280…

Whenever I discover that I am writing a *long* review (meaning I am opinionated and have expertise), I try to force myself to propose acceptance of the paper, despite the many problems I see. This research explains why this might make sense. 👇

With this article, I close my PhD thesis🥳. Give it a try! It's about transformation as gene transfer, complex microbial communities, and a bit about plasmids and mobility...also a nice "catchy" title. Thanks Mark van Loosdrecht  Thomas Abeel David Weissbrodt ! link.springer.com/article/10.100…
