@Thidathipw @piroonj @PongpunSP So nice to meet you!! Looking forward to collaborating!!

It’s really nice to meet Dr. Heather from #CDC HQ @EducatedMicrobe hope we will have a project using #nanopore together. It’s gonna be fun project. 💕🥳 #pulsenet #APHL

Great to present our #PulsenetInternational #PNAP feasibility study for WGS and #AMR at #WOHC2022

AusTrakka is at the @WOHCongress! Grateful for the opportunity to present on the incredible work of the team in national genomics surveillance and the potential for the global and One Health environment @CDGN_Australia @BenjaminHowden @torstenseemann @drandersgs

@Thidathipw @piroonj Thanks for presenting at our #PulseNet Asia Pacific office hours Dr. Tip!! #PNAP

I am not the best person to share "A Thailand Perspective on Sequencing". However, I do my best. #ONT #bacterialgenome #AMR #LSK #RBK #nanopore

@varvarakozyreva Agreed! We need long term investment in public health and improving the pipeline to get people into a public health career!

Bandaid funding will not solve problem of public health workforce. “It took over 20 years of decreasing funding to get where we’re at now. It will take a decade or more to ramp up staffing.” kqed.org/news/11929485/…

@varvarakozyreva Hope you feel better soon @varvarakozyreva !

And yes, the tab in my study notebook is to track when I took my last pain medications so I don’t dissolve my stomach and to space out pumping so I’m not drugging my baby too much when I’m back from the trip

I took ABB laboratory director certification exam. All hopped up on painkillers from inflamed root canal and had not completely recovered from the 3week-long cold that my 7mo-old gave me. Who needs good luck when you are no quitter 😂. #NoTimeToDie ⁦@Momademia⁩

I am co-editing @FrontPubHealth Topic "Integration of NGS in clin&public health micro: applications, compliance, quality considerations" with @DoctorRuth @varvarakozyreva @EducatedMicrobe & my buddy Shaun Yang. Submit your abstracts by 12/12/22! bit.ly/ftinphngs

@heysciencesam Science is going to need help with the new stuff

Science is … Let your phone complete the sentence.

@keithajolley presenting about @PubMLST at #IMMEMXIII showing off data dashboards and data explorer

@dmaccannell @BillHanage We know you, no need to talk smart 😀

@EducatedMicrobe @BillHanage Then I'd have to try and talk smart. No one wants that.

Dealing with my #IMMEMXIII FOMO by drowning myself in emails and coffee 😿

@dmaccannell @BillHanage We need to get you to come talk! Then you have to come!

@EducatedMicrobe @BillHanage 😻 It really is the US public health and academic community that stepped up. I just do a little light cat herding now and then. I honestly have been trying to attend IMMEM since it was held in Victoria BC almost 20 years ago. Something always comes up.
