I was tinkering with @JC_pathogenomic and I was wondered - Which journals cater to microbial genomics? I selected a list of people in the field, and then looked in which journals their work features. Here are the top 50 journals where 'we' publish:

I drew this diagram 10 years ago to show the need for public health to engage with external expert groups. Are we there yet?

Ontarians are counting on us to work together to find solutions and repair our health system that has been pushed to its limits. Thank you to @RNAO for the discussion today. We can no longer stand by and accept the status quo.

Many healthcare organizations and health authorities struggle to share data effectively with biomedical researchers. If we want to battle pandemics, this needs to change, argue Soyean Kim, @wlhsiao, and Nancy Olewiler of @SFUSPP. #CdnPoli options-po.li/3drpshw

100,000 SARS-CoV-2 Genomes from 52 countries in Africa publicly shared on @GISAID. An amazing milestone showing the dedication of 100s of scientists across the continent to pathogen genomic surveillance and public health during a pandemic.
