One of the last sessions of #APHL2025 included a informal contest between bench microbiologists and bioinformaticians.

I think they missed one key point that I'll add here (over a day late): in a zombie apocalypse, you'll want a bench scientist over a bioinformatician.

I didn't know dog rescues could team up with conferences, but it was pretty awesome to have some dogs attending #APHL2025

🚀 Join us at #APHL2025 May 5-8 in Portland, OR.

We're excited to meet with fellow members to discuss issues, trends and best practices driving lab science & #PublicHealth.

Stop by Booth #707 and demo LabConnect, our #DataModernization solution for #PHLs.

🧭 Pathogen genomics isn’t just for the next pandemic—it’s everyday public-health infrastructure. Next week at #APHL2025 I’ll speak at the session “Thinking About Emerging Infectious Diseases Through a Global Health Lens.” www.aphl.org/conferences/...
