Hoo boy, this is a bad idea. Objectively this is such a conservative and dated approach to ways of working that will backfire on the public service and we the public will pay the price Let me give you the reasons it’s not a good idea 🧵 rnz.co.nz/news/political…

@taramcallister4 This is partially why my kid isn't signed up for any sports yet. 😂

poops.nz Updated dashboard - New Zealand wastewater COVID-19 surveillance. Week ending 14 July. Nationally, SARS-CoV-2 level is not too dissimilar to week before. 25 sites : 7 catchments in the South Island; rest in the North Island. No variant update.

poops.nz Updated dashboard -New Zealand wastewater COVID-19 surveillance. Week ending 30 June. Nationally, levels decreased again. Peak seems behind us now, for now. But at higher than low baseline a year ago. No variant update but graph added anyway- KP.3 at 50%.

@taramcallister4 Omg holding hands and a love heart 🥹😍❤️

@AuntThistledown It just gets better

no words

Doesn’t really sound like a “war” then.

Some fun science today, sequencing a clinical legionella sample directly (no culturing step). Here is the gridion selectively spitting out host reads so we get more bacteria in our data

Finally a good way to measure sunlight hours on your property, unironically think this could be a valuable commercial tool

poops.nz Updated dashboard -New Zealand wastewater COVID-19 surveillance. Weekending 19 May. Increase 📈trend nationally in levels in wastewater. KP.3 was at 22% weekending 5 May (delay due to seq machine issues). Another update on variants next week.

What, I'm speaking as well as organsing this!? This should be a really interesting/fun couple of days with a huge breadth of pathogen genomics topics covered. Prizes and travel awards for ECRs too, so please put an abstract in or come along!

@TheAtavism @RhysTWhite Not nearly enough emojis eh @RhysTWhite ?

It's a public covid report week, and since @RhysTWhite has gone off to play in the UK I better present the highlights: esr.cri.nz/digital-librar… . We have added a few JN.1 subvariants to our set of tracked variants for all plots:

Wasn't quite ready for this milestone...
