@MarieChattaway @HPRUged @UniMelb Thanks for having me, I look forward to seeing you down under!

[Marie Anne Chattaway @MarieChattaway]

So great to meet ⁦@LaneCourtneyR⁩ at ⁦@HPRUged⁩ from ⁦@UniMelb⁩ about their pathogen genomics programmes. Fantastic networking opportunities and Looking forward to seeing you again in July in Aussie Land!

[Amy Jennison @AmyVJennison]

Looking for a genomic epidemiologist to work with us on COVID analysis for QLD as well as all our other exciting public health genomics work. Please consider applying or sharing this great opportunity https://t.co/CPmmZpvkfG

[Katherine Gibney @KatherineGibney]

Good time to train some more epidemiologists!

[Torsten Seemann @torstenseemann]

I finally "co-published" in "Nature" with @pathogenomenick !

Well ok, it was Nature News and @clarewhatson interviewed myself (AU), @pathogenomenick (UK) and @Joepdl (NZ) for a story about our COVID-19 genomics and bioinformatics work 🙂

Switzerland provides a great example of why all-cause mortality needs to be reported, every week, from every country. Read @ResolveTSL's new technical package on rapid mortality surveillance: https://t.co/2JqA9kuCI2

[Dr. Tom Frieden @DrTomFrieden]

Important article. Researchers found 76 introductions of distinct #COVID19 genomic clusters to Victoria, Australia. Physical distancing and the #BoxItIn strategy are key to stopping the virus. Genomics can help by rapidly identifying web of transmissions. https://t.co/sFJb3xfoj2

[Courtney Renee Lane @LaneCourtneyR]

Very proud to play a small part in this world class, proactive response and grateful for the tireless efforts and of @VictorianCHO, @annaliesevd and many, many others across Victoria.

[Chief Health Officer, Victoria @VictorianCHO]

Fantastic work by all. This shows just how much Victoria was ‘peppered’ early on with cases and how they were largely ended through response measures and the effects of physical distancing.

[Aaron Darling @koadman]

This is a heroic effort on the part of the team at MDU including @torstenseemann @BenjaminHowden but the best part is that they publicly released all the genomic data weeks ago for others to analyse, rather than protecting it to prevent "getting scooped"

@GaetanBurgio @TheDohertyInst This work was, and still is, a true team effort. Proud to work alongside all

Using genomics to directly inform our public health actions for COVID-19. Very proud to be part of this project, and all our ongoing work implementing routine public health genomics with @VicGovDHHS, @BenjaminHowden, and many, many others; a great multidisciplinary team & effort.

[Benjamin Howden @BenjaminHowden]

Lots of key contributors here - really great collaborative effort including @LaneCourtneyR @norelle_sherry @drdebwilliamson @sebduchene and especially @VicGovDHHS

@hktuyet Gotta vote the e-readers. Convenience and lack of clutter won me over. Special books I want to share or hold onto get a place on the bookshelf.

Fleming Fund AMR Surveillance Fellow Tshering Dorji presenting his analysis of antimicrobial resistance in diarrheal pathogens in Bhutan at #ASA2020 last week. Looking forward to working with Tshering on this interesting dataset over the next few months.

[Trevor Bedford @trvrb]

The team at the @seattleflustudy have sequenced the genome the #COVID19 community case reported yesterday from Snohomish County, WA, and have posted the sequence publicly to https://t.co/tbVb4MAGpy. There are some enormous implications here. 1/9

@BenjaminHowden @torstenseemann @kwongjc Suspected overseas community acquisition of CPE identified in returned travellers - a challenge for identifying patients at risk of CPE colonisation on admission.

@BenjaminHowden @torstenseemann @kwongjc Rate of active clinical infection with KPC-2 CPE drops almost ten-fold between pre-intervention outbreak peak and post-implemention in 2018.

[Courtney Renee Lane @LaneCourtneyR]

@BenjaminHowden @torstenseemann @kwongjc "Search and contain" strategy for CPE - increasing number of CPE due to more colonised patients identified through screening. Reduced proportion of active clinical infections.
