Ooof - I was sloppy on the Illumina TruPath Genome piece - easy to blame AGBT fatigue but that's a lazy excuse. The following errors have been corrected

1. TruPath doesn't have an "e" in it. About 14 mistakes = including the title!
Illumina officially launches TruPath, their pseudo-long read sequencing kit (formerly called Constellation), at #AGBT #AGBT25

Portrait of Tove Fall, SciLifeLab Group Leader and Uppsala University Professor, with greenery all around.
π§ͺ In two new studies on 28,000 individuals, researchers are able to show how 11 genetic variants affect gut microbiome.
@tovefall.bsky.social (SciLifeLab/@uu.se) led one of the studies.

In case useful @iandunt.bsky.social , @soniaz.bsky.social has just shown me how to turn off the AI summary in google search! Just add -noai. Just did a simple test comparing you and @dorianlynskey.bsky.social

Well... community post confirms it: ONT is getting rid of P2 Solo, their most cost-effective platform.
By transitioning to P2i-only and "contact for quotes" purchase models, ONT is now in the realm of the sequencing companies that they initially claimed to be distancing themselves from.
1,000 PacBio genomes in a prospectively designed clinical utility study.
This was the biggest and most important study that made us go live in diagnostics.

Peer Review is broken because a generation of Editors were trained that peer review is sacrosanct. Thus we have Editors who are clerks, sending and re-sending manuscripts to reviewers until they are happy. That's not the job. Be an Editor, not a clerk. Use your skill and judgement. Make decisions.
2025 was the third hottest year ever.
Trend is worrying and faster than expected a few years ago.
Only when we stop burning coal, oil and gas, temperature will stop rising.

Every year we delay meaningful climate action, the costs skyrocket β in lives lost, economies damaged, and ecosystems destroyed. In the Horn of Africa, families are already paying the highest price for emissions they didnβt cause.

This is winter in #Gaza.
People are facing a third winter of cold temperatures, torrential rain and heavy winds after being repeatedly forcibly displaced.
Conditions have destroyed and flooded the makeshift shelters people are living in.
