Wastewater contains a treasure trove of information for monitoring public health. In our new paper, we solve several lab and computational bottlenecks to achieve timely, accurate, and cost-effective SARS-CoV-2 surveillance using wastewater sequencing.

Absolute tour de force paper led from Jenna and the @GallioLab crew- bringing together so many different aspects of rapid sensory response. 🔥🔥🔥Love the art from @SarahBecan as well!

Also, learn how whole-genome sequencing (#WGS) technology is used to decode the genetic information of infectious disease pathogens through wastewater analysis. https://t.co/dP296DpsdE

🎉🎉🎉Congratulations to our MSc students for their successful post-field seminars held today! We celebrate you all.

📢📢📢Announcing 3 new research (post-doctoral and doctoral) positions @acegid!

Agreed! It was an awesome few weeks working with @fieldomics and the amazing scientists over at @acegid to set up multi-pathogen wastewater surveillance. More to come on this soon!

I'm so proud of the program the NWSS team has built. Great to see it highlighted in the NCEZID 2022 Accomplishments report. #WastewaterSurveillance #PublicHealth

The #COVID19 pandemic has illustrated the value of analyzing wastewater to understand and track human disease spread, evolution, and outbreak risk. A new #SciencePerspective describes approaches that can help expand and improve this type of surveillance. https://t.co/XcOjrzyTfB

Our perspective on wastewater sequencing for COVID-19 and beyond is out in @ScienceMagazine. Joint effort between @KnightLabNews @UCSanDiego @UCSDHealth and @scrippsresearch @josh__levy (1/2) https://t.co/4b5h2sTp71

"The COVID-19 pandemic has laid bare the importance of pathogen surveillance to public health, and wastewater as one of our most powerful assets." @josh__levy & colleagues in @ScienceMagazine

Down goes the last monoclonal treatment we had in our arsenal... This highlights the importance of continued genomic surveillance of #SARSCoV2 🔎🧬🦠

have at long last and semi-involuntarily become a Housing Guy. every problem in america goes back to housing costs. the “decadence,” the cultural boredom, the sense that every “scene” is strip-mined before it can reach potential—housing, housing, housing.

In 2021 UCSD raised grad student and postoc housing by ~50%. This emboldened local landlords to do worse. The rent for our 2b went from 2400 in may 2020 to 3600 this year. Even with my spouses salary, 75% of my pay goes to housing and childcare. With second baby it will be 95%

Can guarantee that the local weather is unreal (in a good way), the surf is gnarly (also in a good way), and lab is an exciting and friendly place to work.

Curious how viruses spread and evolve? Want to help build some of the most-used virus genomics tools (clinical and #wastewater)? Come join the Andersen Lab! We’re hiring a research programmer- those with bioinformatic/programming experience, hit our line!

The San Diego Epidemiology and Research for COVID Health (SEARCH) Alliance, co-founded by Scripps Research, @UCSD and @radychildrens, has been awarded a $2.5 million grant by @CDCgov to support one of the largest #SARSCoV2 surveillance programs in the US https://t.co/I3HXqG6CJ7
