The San Diego Epidemiology and Research for COVID Health (SEARCH) Alliance, co-founded by Scripps Research, UC San Diego and Rady Children's Hospital-San Diego, has been awarded a $2.5 million grant by CDC to support one of the largest #SARSCoV2 surveillance programs in the US scripps.edu/news-and-event…

“COVID showed us how talented, persevering, and resourceful African scientists are…” - Yaw Bediako at #GCAM22 #GrandChallenges

In 2021 UCSD raised grad student and postoc housing by ~50%. This emboldened local landlords to do worse. The rent for our 2b went from 2400 in may 2020 to 3600 this year. Even with my spouses salary, 75% of my pay goes to housing and childcare. With second baby it will be 95%

have at long last and semi-involuntarily become a Housing Guy. every problem in america goes back to housing costs. the “decadence,” the cultural boredom, the sense that every “scene” is strip-mined before it can reach potential—housing, housing, housing. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

Down goes the last monoclonal treatment we had in our arsenal... This highlights the importance of continued genomic surveillance of #SARSCoV2 🔎🧬🦠

"The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the importance of pathogen surveillance to public health, and wastewater as one of our most powerful assets." Josh Levy @[email protected] & colleagues in Science Magazine science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our perspective on wastewater sequencing for COVID-19 and beyond is out in Science Magazine. Joint effort between Knight Lab UC San Diego UC San Diego Health and Scripps Research Josh Levy @[email protected] (1/2) science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

The #COVID19 pandemic has illustrated the value of analyzing wastewater to understand and track human disease spread, evolution, and outbreak risk. A new #SciencePerspective describes approaches that can help expand and improve this type of surveillance. scim.ag/16P

I'm so proud of the program the NWSS team has built. Great to see it highlighted in the NCEZID 2022 Accomplishments report. #WastewaterSurveillance #PublicHealth

Agreed! It was an awesome few weeks working with Holly L. Lutz and the amazing scientists over at @acegid to set up multi-pathogen wastewater surveillance. More to come on this soon!

📢📢📢Announcing 3 new research (post-doctoral and doctoral) positions @acegid!

🎉🎉🎉Congratulations to our MSc students for their successful post-field seminars held today! We celebrate you all.

Also, learn how whole-genome sequencing (#WGS) technology is used to decode the genetic information of infectious disease pathogens through wastewater analysis. cdc.gov/amd/whats-new/…

Absolute tour de force paper led from Jenna and the Marco@GallioLab crew- bringing together so many different aspects of rapid sensory response. 🔥🔥🔥Love the art from Sarah Becan as well!
