MicroSeq is back September 3-4, 2025! Stay tuned for more details on registration and abstract submission coming soon here and at microseqconference.com. 🌟Save the date!🌟 #MicroSeq2025

@DuckSwabber @tiggrillo @healthywildlife Congratulations Michelle!! So well deserved 🥳

What a privilege to receive an Australian Biosecurity Award for my research, science communication, and advocacy on HPAI. Grateful to @tiggrillo @healthywildlife for the nomination, and all collaborators and colleagues for making it possible! agriculture.gov.au/biosecurity-tr…

What a fantastic keynote to start #VEGB24 from @TanjaStadler_CH. Important messages about data sharing and open access for pathogens of importance! 🖥️🧬

See you soon Cambridge for #VGEB24 So excited for my FIRST ever international conference and feeling very luck to have the opportunity to present my RSV poster. Come and find me in the second session, poster 10, for a chat! #genomics

@DuckSwabber Congratulations!!! You are so amazing and utterly deserve this!

What a privilege to be a 2024 Victorian Young Tall Poppy #YTP24 for outstanding research and communication. Enjoyed hearing about all the incredible work being done at the awards ceremony last night. 🌸🦆🦠

This is such an exiting project to be a part of and I'm so grateful for the skills I've learnt (and am continuing to build)!!

This is filling a much needed gap in ONT bioinformatics; I am SO keen to try this tool out, it looks amazing 😍

#Dengue virus (DENV) #epidemics are becoming increasingly widespread, making it critical to track the virus using #genomic surveillance. This Consensus View proposes a new DENV nomenclature system to identify and track DENV lineages. plos.io/47C0hR9 #PLOSBiology

Post-doc opportunity 📞 #immunologists #cellbiologists #virologists interested in generating ex vivo culture systems to replace animals. Join our program at ACDP and advance in vitro organ models to answer key challenges in infectious disease research jobs.csiro.au/job/Geelong%2C…

This week, the WHO declared a growing outbreak of mpox a global health emergency of international concern. Prof. @VogelsChantal has been studying mpox and shares her thoughts on the latest outbreak ⬇️ @YaleEMD ysph.yale.edu/news-article/t…

@thijskuiken biorxiv.org/content/10.110… This is a new paper which might have something in it?

First thing I do at the minute is message my friends/partner in 🇦🇺 and catch up on here for 30mins while I plan an review my day! 30mins to get my mind in the zone then onto the day

I shall maintain the hemisphere difference is my problem for #MyScienceMay I don't think I've ever seen a TV show with a nicely represented genomics lab? But MISS-represented, take your pick (sadly looking at you Jurassic Park 🦖; you too Gattaca, no-one like eugenics 🧬)

I swear one year I'll manage #MyScienceMay well. Catch up post from the 3rd; travelling to a scientific discovery has to be Rosalind Franklin 🧬 Darwin and his finches a close second however 🦜 @avid_podcast

Whoops; off to a great #MyScienceMay after missing the first day 😅 I'm Ellen, post-doc @Yale University @YaleSPH looking into respiratory virus genomics! Still trying to figure out my place in the STEM world but we'll get there 👩‍🔬🧬

@SciencePeddler @illumina Maybe Agriculture Victoria? Last I knew they had a nova seq and consistent runs weekly-ish? Noel Cogan could be a contact to ask ☺️

Hi twit/x fam anyone have a lead on industry-accessible Illumina platforms in Aus with a turnaround time of under 8 weeks? @illumina #genomics #bioinformatics #synbio

Calling all bioinformaticians 🧬💻! I need a new work laptop; what are we all using? What's good for coding? What can I buy now and not upgrade for a while 😆? #postdoc #bioinformatics

Sci comm catch ups; nothing better! Listen to my spontaneous appearance on @RadioSciLens talking all things zoonotic. Given the increase in avian in non-bird species, I thought it would make for some great discussion and it sure did! Check it here 👇 open.spotify.com/show/5k3kPkudQ…

@stace_lynch @ASM_VicBranch If you hear of a good tool let me know 😂 Maybe people can give github.com/andersen-lab/F… a go and see how it works??? I've been meaning to try it!

Great presentation by Professor Trevor Drew at the ASM meeting today- ‘role of quasi species in disease - it’s not only a consensus sequence!’ Ps we also need better bioinformatics tools!! @ASM_VicBranch
