For those of you that have asked me why I am convinced that cryptic lineages are coming from people, I can finally point to a pre-print with @dho and many fantastic collaborators in the UWisc and Wisc Public Health. medrxiv.org/cgi/content/shor…

The message from Israel is clear: #Covid19 booster shots should be standard. A third dose of the vaccine provides significant protection, but that should not mean those who are unvaccinated go without, by @dho theguardian.com/commentisfre… via @guardian #vaccination

Interested in SARS-CoV-2 sequencing? Want to work with a great team including @tcflab? We are hiring a PhD-level scientist to help orchestrate sequencing of viruses as part of an @CDCgov contract.

What a great talk from @dho to kick off our 22nd Annual #HTCondor Week! It was great to have a deeper understanding of how #highthroughputcomputing can contribute to such great work in #COVID19research by expediting the process of SARS-CoV-2 variant sequencing. @HTCondor @dho_lab

Over 5% of Dane County's positive COVID tests have been sequenced. This is how we find variants of concern soon after they arrive in our community. Learn more here: bit.ly/2ONJOVE. Thanks to @dho and his son Eli!

That time, a year ago today, we gathered in a bar (remember that!?) for #ScienceonTapMadison to have ⁦@dho⁩ and Shelby O’Connor answer all our questions about the “new coronavirus.”

And I was really thrilled to hear from @menakawilhelm with an *excellent* @Brains_On episode about COVID-19 vaccines, including @dho brainson.org/episode/2021/02…

The U.S. lags far behind other countries in ability to sequence viral samples. ASM & partners endorse the Tracking #COVID19 Variants Act which provides critical funding for @CDC_AMD and thank @RepBera @SenatorBaldwin & @RepScottPeters for their leadership. skyw.io/aOhUou

Why are some sequencing centers sitting idle as the 'sequencing superpower' US falls behind in #COVID19 genome surveillance? Money, mostly. @meredithwadman explores in @ScienceMagazine w/ @mason_lab @KnightLabNews @WashUGenetics @dho @tcfriedrich ow.ly/E9YE50DwIQ5
