@mason_lab Nice, Chris. Running a marathon will change you - in the best way. Enjoy! My close friend’s dad died of ALS when I was in high school, and I saw the devastating course of his illness. We have to do better for people diagnosed.

From #AfricaPGI to #AfricaPGI2.0

@AfricaCDC is adapting to the changes in the pathogen genomics surveillance ecosystem. Our new strategy was launched on the sidelines of #CPHIA2023

What is #AfricaPGI2.0? a thread 1/n

[Vanessa Moeder @VanessaMoeder]

@joe_wangendo @AfricaPHF @AfricaCDC @dmaccannell @illumina @ASLM_News @gatesfoundation Congratulations! It’s a great plan for Africa.

Honored to be a panelist in today's #UNGA High-Level Meeting on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response (PPPR), where I will speak about the role of the private sector in the collaborative effort to protect global public health #PandemicPPR #Genomics

[The Elders @TheElders]

At the #UNGA High-Level Meeting on Pandemic Prevention, Preparedness and Response (PPPR) tomorrow, leaders must change course on pandemics.

Explore the action needed from leaders to address this existential threat via our #pandemic hub: https://t.co/ff7jPPOs4F

Some unfortunate news from our friends at @ProMED_mail - after significant changes to the platform (limiting search and implementing paid subscription) writers and editors will be suspending all work

This platform is a public health treasure worth saving

"Japan has proven that focusing intensely on fighting an infectious disease delivers much more than the benefit of halting that particular threat. It also creates resilient health systems that are truly universal"

@dmaccannell "The totality of Taylor Swifts' U.S. tour could generate $4.6 billion in total consumer spending, larger than the GDP of 35 countries”

Not feeling so shabby about the $ spent taking my daughter to the Vegas show. You can thank me for our upcoming economic recovery 😉

Genomic surveillance of influenza in animals & humans is critical to preventing the next pandemic

We have the technology at hand, but it needs to be deployed sustainably around the world to continuously monitor human, animal & environmental samples for impactful viral changes

[CIDRAP @CIDRAP]

Global groups warn of ongoing H5N1 avian flu threat to people

Scientists see some changes that could enhance virus replication and allow binding to human-like receptors.

In 1776 🇺🇸 life expectancy was 36 years.

Half of children died before their 5th birthday.

Diseases like smallpox—not combat—were the greatest threat to Washington’s army.

We’ve come a long way. And we largely have public health to thank.

Pathogen genomic surveillance is needed to detect and track the diseases our health systems face every day, not just during a pandemic. Newly launched at #WHA76, the International Pathogen Surveillance Network will help strengthen these systems.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

WHO and partners are launching the International Pathogen Surveillance Network, a global network to help protect people from infectious disease threats through better use of pathogen genomics https://t.co/DOG8ECjDVZ

[Vanessa Moeder @VanessaMoeder]

Hope to see many #globalhealth colleagues in Geneva 🇨🇭for #WHA76 to discuss the critical role #genomics plays in pandemic preparedness & response, and the need for sustainable programs to monitor for emerging threats and #AntimicrobialResistance while building local capacity

[United Nations Foundation @unfoundation]

We're coming to you LIVE from Geneva this weekend.

As the 76th World Health Assembly begins, tune into our event with @GVAGrad_GHC for a closer look at top global health issues and @WHO's 75-year legacy.

Genomic sequencing aids in developing diagnostics, treatments and vaccines against infectious disease. Here’s how African scientists are working to pool data that decodes diseases: https://t.co/eZ29RspBQc

[Illumina @illumina]

Precision #metagenomics could change the landscape of infectious disease diagnosis and care as we know it. @AdvantaGenetics is demonstrating the importance of using #NGS to identify harmful pathogens and stop antimicrobial resistance. More on their work: https://t.co/n9Sspde76W
