I’ve been making a monthly contribution for *years*! Everyone should. Right now it feels like the last, best source for factual information. It flags its own content when it doesn’t meet their standards! There is no other information outlet that does that.

This is a very nice educational resource.

Just a shout-out to the folks over at @pathoplexus.org and, importantly, all the scientists sharing genomic data with such amazing speed. It's great to see the field having moved to a new platform, with non-transparent platforms being a thing of the past. Fantastic.

Really proud of this new review covering human primary atopic disorders. @jhumimmunity.org

Registered too late for a poster for @escmid.bsky.social #IMMEMXIV but happy to discuss SciCommander with anyone interested 😊 See: livesys.se/posts/rewrit... Captures provenance of ad-hoc commands while skipping already computed steps - "The benefits of a pipeline tool without the pipeline tool".

My biggest, loudest job application advice: WHY do you want this job? This SPECIFIC job? What about it interests you? What do you think of it? What can you bring to it? I know this sounds obvious but a generic cover letter isn't doing you favours - really. *Show me you know the job!* 1/7

📢New job posting!📢 Are you excited by the idea of building global infrastructure to make pathogen sequencing more accessible, interpretable, and equitable? 🧑🏻‍💻🧬 My group at @swisstph.ch has an opening working with ARTIC2, @pathoplexus.org, & Loculus - read on! 1/5

Some great new features and updates from the awesome Pathoplexus project. This is a new open pathogen genome database that can provide access to your sequences under a use-restricted license but also feed directly in to INSDC (EBI, Genbank etc) when you are ready. pathoplexus.org/news/2025-07...

Pathoplexus | Pathoplexus July Update

Pathoplexus is a new, open-source database dedicated to the efficient sharing of human viral pathogen genomic data, fostering global collaboration and public health response.

pathoplexus.org

In an awesome new feature, you can now use the ‘Tools’ button to send sequences from Pathoplexus to other analyses and visualizations - like maps or Nextclade! Have a tool that would be worth including? See our docs! pathoplexus.org/docs/how-to/... 5/9

🗓️As we close in on 11 months of Pathoplexus, we’re pleased to announce many new direct sequence uploads and some exciting new features that expand Pathoplexus’ utility! 📰 You can see our full News Item here: pathoplexus.org/news/2025-07-14-july-update 1/9

The BIGSdb-Pasteur project, running under my supervision since 20 years, is looking for a project manager - great opportunity to contribute to this high-profile international resource in the field of reference strain taxonomies, genomic epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance surveillance

Absolutely thrilled to announce the launch of ARTIC2 - a £5.5M 5 year project funded by @wellcometrust.bsky.social to build on the ARTIC approach of low-cost, globally accessible genome sequencing for surveillance of outbreaks, epidemics and endemic diseases: www.birmingham.ac.uk/news/2025/am...

Ambitious project to develop low-cost genome sequencing for pathogens known and unknown - University of Birmingham

Project will build on research that helped diagnostic labs to adopt sequencing capacity for COVID-19 and permit characterisation of future infectious threats

Excited to announce the start of ARTIC2! 🎉 ARTIC2 builds on the success of ARTIC aiming to make sequencing more equitable and accessible. 🤝🧬 EVE Group at @swisstph.ch is a key team member - we'll be helping make sequences easier to store and share via Loculus & @pathoplexus.org ! 🌎 More below! 👀👇🏻

Delighted to see this paper from danderson123.bsky.social 's PhD out. We have been building tools for AMR gene detection for over a decade now, but multicopy genes remain challenging. Dan shows that with a gene-space de Bruijn graph and long reads, you can do well www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

This is Canada — and we decide what happens here.

"One thing that happens when you have that much lying is that people begin to ask, is anything true? How do we know whether anything is ever true?" Don't let Trump's lies fatigue you or turn you cynical. @anneapplebaum.bsky.social joins @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social on the The Focus Group pod:

A person who views their health with a scientific lens is advantaged. Wellness grifters hold less power over those who can see through their charades.

Excellent interview. For anyone in Canada, well worth a listen.

Great to talk with Canadian Prime Minister @mark-carney.bsky.social on the podcast. link.chtbl.com/ProfGPod?sid...

It’s time to protect our values as Canadians. That means more doctors and hospitals in our public health care system, protecting our lands and waters, and standing up for our Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
