Another milestone for @APHL and @GlobalFund! This week’s training at the @EPHIEthiopia 🇪🇹 focused on #wastewater surveillance using NGS, mNGS, bioinformatics, & genomic epidemiology. 🧬 The team successfully completed a full analysis independently on @TerraBioApp discovering unique SARS-CoV-2 variants not previously identified in Africa. 🦠 The newly inaugurated (Feb 2024) Integrated Pathogen Genomic and Bioinformatics Facility is set to be a cornerstone for Ethiopia and beyond! 💎 #PublicHealth #GlobalHealth

Watching #TheInvisibleShield on @PBS - immediately in my mind I'm back in spring 2020, reading The Ghost Map in the @LSHTM library, soaking up every minute of my last semester of public health courses and keeping a suspicious eye on this novel virus we keep hearing about...

[Britnae Purdy @britnaeann]

Shoutout to public health labs right off the bat in the first episode of The Invisible Shield @PBS 🔬

"Yes, the analogy has an apples-and-oranges quality to it. However, at its core, it offers translatable lessons about concurrent pathways for resource allocation that reflect competing, often irreconcilable values and interests."

An excellent analysis of the latest draft of the “Pandemic Agreement” (aka Pandemic Accord aka Pandemic Treaty) by @GHIAAteam

How do countries negotiate further via the lens of equity, equitable access & other principles that should be non-negotiable

Great news for global laboratory response to HIV/AIDS!

I'm very lucky to have recently spent two weeks in Mozambique, with my @APHL colleagues observing our wastewater-based surveillance program and strategizing on our PEFPAR work. I can't wait to come back again!
