Amazing work from our colleagues in Sierra Leone, Nigeria, and elsewhere, making the first sequences available from the ongoing Mpox epidemic in Sierra Leone.
More to come - for now, head over to @pathoplexus.org:

Particularly thought Prof Iruka Okeke gave a thoughtful perspective on language being a barrier not only by English being the lingua franca, but also scientific language itself acting as a barrier for those not surrounded by networks of people using that terminology
Engaging first day at #ABPHM 2025 including a fascinating panel on equity in pathogen genomics which was broken down into the themes of language barriers, supply chain issues and limited access to professional networks for the global south

Do you (like me) create a bunch of conda environments, then later forget what they're for, when they were last updated, or which tools are in them?
If so, you might this little project: github.com/rrwick/conda...
Another fabulous talk in the 'Exploring Hidden Threats: Knowledge Expansion of Understudied Bacterial Pathogens' session from @amberbarton.bsky.social highlighting the challenges on working on non-culturable organisms 👀🦠🧬

Results will help shape educational initiatives and will inform the development of tools and services offered by the network.
Oh cool! I'll take a look, thank you
I like it- suitably vague to leave it up to them if they want to ask more
bioinformaticians- how are we describing this career to friends and family that have backgrounds in neither bio nor computers? #bioinfo #bioinformatics

Mentally defrosting after the break by thinking about some #bioinfo learning goals for this year; 2025 should see me learning #SQL for database management and also developing a pipeline with #nextflow ✨
Photo taken from the back of the auditorium shows on stage a panel of five plus the host mid-discussuon and in front of them an audience, the screen behind the panel shows a Sanger Day agenda
Great to celebrate the Institute at Sanger Day last week 🧬 Particularly enjoyed the Global Working: Challenges and opportunities panel discussing geopolitical aspects of partnerships, logistics (suitcase of reagents missing in transit!) and the importance of mutually beneficial partnerships
