Good to see ONT working on supply chains! Next, an African hub?

[Ewan Birney @ewanbirney]

The Community events this year are moving from New York City to Houston and Singapore. There will also be staging post in Singapore so Asian customers can get flowcells within 48 hours from ordering. Then we have a very British health and safety briefing. :) #nanoporeconf

How accurate is an ONT-R10.4.1-only bacterial genome assembly? Short answer: ~Q50, but it depends!

There's still time! Anyone interested in doing a #PhD with us in Virology on #EarlyWarning and endemic and emerging viruses? Interested in field-forward work at the animal-human-environment interface a plus. https://t.co/BCdx99ALzi

Many years after I attended a Wellcome advanced course I get to train the next generation! A fun week and I hope the trainees all love the command line now.

It's not easy to travel if you're from the Global South. Writing for @ThaiEnquirer, I explain in simple-ish terms the Kafkaesque trials someone with a "weak" passport has to go through to get the coveted visa stamp—even for short trips for leisure or work. https://t.co/bckpkFysie

The malaria parasite adapts--the rapid emergence of a new drug-resistant malaria parasite in Laos. More reason why the global #malaria community needs to pull together. https://t.co/O7ufgKSf45

Earlier this year I had the opportunity to take a sabbatical. I did something a little different - an industrial sabbatical at @awscloud. This was super fun and a great energizer for my own research! (note that all opinions here are my own)
