Grateful to have been awarded a @arc_gov_au #DECRA fellowship.

Huge thanks to my mentors, colleagues, collaborators and friends who helped this finally get over the line. By far the toughest grant process I've encountered!

A key step to designing better pneumonia trials is designing better patient/ parent reported outcomes and PROMs. Great first paper by Dan Oakes, part of his MPH and a sign of great work to come @WCVID @telethonkids @epid_oakes @_charliemcleod @emmanattabi

Feels a bit surreal tweeting this. I was awarded an FHRI Fellowship. https://t.co/NcHg0Z2qEp
I said no thank you as I'm leaving academia for a role in WA Health within the public health genomics team at PathWest. The ECR ride has been wild but time for a new challenge!

[Janessa Pickering @JanessaPickeri2]

Our centre (#WCVID), program (#ENDRHD) and team (#StrepA pathogenesis and diagnostics) continue to grow 💪🏻. Come hunt microbes with me + others👇🏻🦠🧫👩🏼‍🔬🔬🧪@tim_barnett1

I'm particularly fond of this one, as it takes my PhD thesis and distils it down to practical advice.

This is pretty slick — query with an accession and directly download actual read files (with preference for SRA or ENA) directly in @rpetit3's fastq-dl https://t.co/Pn2L32hFMQ; all wrapped up in a nice "rich" interface :).

@roscobacterium We achieve 10-20 ng/ul gDNA using MPbio fastprep and Kurabo quickgene tissue kit. Decent for nanopore and Illumina WGS but still short of getting into PCR free library prep range.
