Congratulation Claire Guinat for leading this project https://t.co/Mc66yipUji on avian influenza H7N9 in our group @ETH_en@ETH_BSSE! Genomes can inform us about the past - H7N9 was already circulating for a few months prior to being first detected in 2013 https://t.co/PW2JokOUIg
I want to share a roadmap of how recently-shared data from the Chinese CDC, from environmental samples taken at the Huanan market, can be used *right now* to try to track down its animal sources.
The data have been around since very early 2020...

I wrote this Opinion piece for the @latimes on last week's evidence-free news cycle on COVID origins.
It covers my own scientific journey: started closer to @jonstewart, with whom I sympathize, but ended far, far away.
Thx @JoshGohlke, super-editor!

New #HIVresearch from the BC-CfE Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics Group, @UBC and @CDCofBC published in the @LancetRH_Americ.
Led by first author Rachel Miller & Dr. Jeffrey Joy this work examined the impact of #COVID19 lockdowns on #HIV transmission in BC.
Crucial work from my lab led by excellent PhD candidate @AngelaMcLaughin released today in @eLife reveals international travel restrictions were key for reducing spread of SC2 in Canada. Thanks contributors Vince, Rachel, @gidmord, #CanCOGeN Consortium, @MichaelWorobey, @art_poon
We are elated to share our paper in eLife on the genomic epidemiology of the first and second waves of SARS-CoV-2 in Canada https://t.co/1Dva2nnonF . Shout out to co-authors, Vince, Rachel, @gidmord, #CanCOGen consortium, @MichaelWorobey, @art_poon, and @Greenbeard2. 1/9
My colleague @angie_rasmussen and I wrote this piece (minus the headline) in Canada's national newspaper, @globeandmail.
The pandemic's epicenter: Huanan market in Wuhan, China, with the evidence pointing resoundingly to live wildlife sold there.

🔴The curious case of Indian #Monkeypox Genomes
Wonderful effort by clinicians in @KeralaHealth who diagnosed the disease and researchers at @icmr_niv, we now have sequences of MPX isolates in @GISAID .
This short 🧵is on what the early genomes say.

"There is no data to support 5 days or anything shorter than ten days [of isolation]."
Paxlovid rebound may extend that further
