If any PhD student working in computational biology is displaced by this most recent tumult and is looking for a new lab, I have room for one (or potentially two) PhD students in my group. Feel free to reach out via email.

The African Society for Human Genetics meeting is underway in Uganda with 400 participants, and a great line up of speakers and sessions. We are hearing of the great strides made in developing genomics capacity in Africa, but more data and training are needed! #AFSHG2025

Maryland variant update. The only real update is that it is still there. We detected it 3 more times in the last month, most recently Jan 9. x.com/SolidEvidence/… 1/

Here's the thing: he knows that virus discovery isn't bioweapons research. He wants everyone to think it is to justify eliminating infectious diseases research for the sake of repurposing those funds for himself. This is a self-serving lie. Don't believe it.

Here’s one reason why we need @WHO. There is an outbreak of Sudan virus (a type of ebolavirus) in Uganda. They are trying to rapidly detect cases to prevent the new ones. Time is critical to stop an outbreak from growing into an epidemic. WHO helps speed things up.

Apparently we haven't dumbed it down enough for Rand Paul: Hepatitis B's primary transmission route is vertical (mom to child) HBV can transmit by bites or hygiene implements If a child gets HBV they have a 90% chance of getting chronic disease

I am the author of this OpEd, which was given a misleading title and from which key lines were cut—lines that made very clear that RFK Jr is dangerously ignorant, has absolutely no business near HHS, and is effectively a mass murderer in waiting.

This morning Uganda announced a new Ebola outbreak. The last time there was an Ebola outbreak in Uganda, the CDC worked with the WHO on helping end it. But now, the CDC can’t even talk to the WHO. I repeat, again and again, this is pure stupidity that will only hurt us.

I am *SO* sick of @facebook "refreshing" the page I have open, throwing it away. Is there no way to stop it? It’s a major UI fail. People have particular pages open because, duh, *they’re using them* LEAVE THEM OPEN FOR THE READER That’s not hard to work out is it?

Conventional wisdom in 2024 seems to dictate that the Covid-19 response was an overreaction, but that conventional wisdom is wrong. My analysis on the Royal Commission report and the response to it: newsroom.co.nz/2024/12/03/his…
