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 National Wastewater Surveillance System (NWSS) collects data from community wastewater systems that help detect COVID-19 variants such as Omicron and other diseases. Learn more from #NCEZIDin2022: https://t.co/fN3tZTubWY

Hear me out, public health people: this is the future. Sequence-based Wastewater Integrated Framework for Tracking Infectious Events in Showplaces (SWIFTIES).
I’m enchanted to announce my next tour: Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour, a journey through the musical eras of my career (past & present!) The first leg of the tour will be in stadiums across the US, with international dates to be announced as soon as we can! https://t.co/KFuqvrhSGo

Anyone ever trade in lab equipment, like the @BioRad trade-up program? Would you be willing to share what kind of deal you got?
