Thread: A breakthrough in fighting drug-resistant superbugs! Our paper in @GenomeMedicine introduces ARDaP, a game-changer in predicting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. @Dr_ErinPrice @demadden9 @usceduau @CBioinnovation https://t.co/fDjbxrfDZ3👇

UniSC researchers have turned super-sleuths developing world-leading software that can detect and predict genetic changes in one of nature's deadliest superbugs. https://t.co/YReZ2eFXSp @tiarni_reid #7NEWS

@Mark_A_Hooper I think left to right (instead of the current top to down) might make this figure easier.

@AMathelier @UniOslo Yeah this is now the norm. Every institution users a different app which is resllt annoying. I've got okta, duo, freeotp.

My host institution decided to block all overseas email access. Even webmail! No warning.

Institutions do crazy stuff

Very sad to hear that file syncing service CloudStor provided by @AARNet for 15 years (!!) is being decommissioned. I remember having 100gig of storage when the rest were providing 5gig.

It was fantastic while it lasted. Sad to see CloudStor retired.

After >11y of stagnant @NHMRC + ARC funding, discovery research forming the foundation of healthcare innovation & improved patient care is in jeopardy.

With key stakeholders in the sector, we call on our political leaders for action.

In NSW, Australia, you can eradicate living organisms, as long as you purchase "species credits" of all the things you killed building your highway or gas plant or whatever

Koalas go for $600 AUD (~$380USD / EUR)

Do you currently have access to EpiFlu™?

It would be amazing if @GISAID allowed the download of all sequences submitted on a given day.
Right now I don't know of a legal way to download all sequences submitted on say the 30th of August.
There are 30k sequences, but the limit is 10k. Why? No clue. 1/

@macroliter @firefoxx66 @mccarthy_kr @CorneliusRoemer @VogelsChantal @NCBI @nextstrain @CDCgov Software such as Nextstrain should not ever be opinionated to this extent. The Nextstrain team has been amazing in setting the right examples with the official builds. Blame by proxy is a moral quagmire.

@ZaminIqbal Android has the added benefit of the caller app which screens quiet well spam calls (at least here in Australia). For keyboard, android has decent accessibility options inc. keyboard size, magnifying etc.

[Ammar Aziz @_amaraziz_]

@ZaminIqbal IMO this is going extreme. Another option, get a Nokia phone. I'm sure there are other phone manufacturers that do a minimal no junk phone but Nokia is the one I know of. I have Nokia 6.1, it received security updates for ~4 years, had very little junk which could be removed.
