Today, my co-authors and I wrote a sentence in @NEJM that I will remember for the rest of my career.
I hope you read the piece, but if you only read one thing, know this.
"Black people are loved."

Why understand #vagina #microbiome during #pregnancy & #breastfeeding ? Per @WorldBank data below women in #LMIC spend 20-30% of reproductive yrs there. Big implications for #HIV #STI risk @gatesfoundation #GrandChallenges2019 @HIVMTN @HIVptn

Dear @seattletimes,
For a story about a measles outbreak due to lack of immunization, showing a child suffering from a vaccine-preventable illness is more appropriate than this image. Thank you.
Of the 61 cases confirmed in Clark County, 54 were not immunized against measles.

hmm i wonder what the overlap is between these 92,143 metagenomic genomes (nature.com/articles/s41586-0…) and these 154,723 genomes (sciencedirect.com/science/ar…). either way. lotsa genomes
