So the Supreme Court won’t allow states to regulate guns but WILL allow states to regulate a woman’s body?! Complete BS!! #RoeVsWade

It's really unfortunate that these sessions weren't available to remote attendees, especially given how expensive the registration was! Just the plenaries (live) and pre-recorded breakout session talks. I would have really loved to see these! @CDGN_Australia @_PHAA_

Victoria is a different state in Australia, which had an outbreak at the time dominated by one genomic lineage. Throughout much of the pandemic, travel between states was restricted to reduce spread.

yes, the 454/SOLiD was data from ~2010 that took a long time to disambiguate enough to publish because the genome was such a puzzle. lf only nanopore was readily available at the time… (Also, note that there is PacBio and Illumina data in this paper too!)

easier said than done… my last paper was rejected from biorxiv because it was “medical research” and from medrxiv because it “wasn’t research” 🤷‍♀️
