Hooray, we are now also on Bluesky! 🎉

The German public health agency, joined the new social media platform, and like on X, continue the communication of fact-based information, work from our amazing scientific teams, and public health outcomes over this platform! 🔬🧬🧫

There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

A Place of Joy.

Together with three PhD candidates, I was invited to present my research at the WHO Pandemic Hub in Berlin. Collaborating with my research institute, the Karolinska Institute, and the WHO we research aligning Integrated Genomic Surveillance development, using a cross-continental (EU/Africa) setting
