At the Nucleic Acid Observatory, we do a *lot* of wastewater metagenomic sequencing—currently ~25B read pairs weekly, soon scaling to 75B.
Both finding suspicious sequences and understanding their genomic context are crucial challenges in our pathogen monitoring. 1/4

Currently reading "The Alchemy of Air" about the invention of the Haber-Bosch process. One note:
Before synthetic ammonia, demand for fertilizer led to several economic mini-booms. E.g., Peru saw rapid growth due to the sale of guano, a potent fertilizer made up of dried bird droppings.

People are very doom-y about Germany's economy.
But I think there will be a reversion to the mean:
- The country always reformed when its economy tanked (e.g., Agenda 2010). Reform will happen again.
- The pro-business CDU will soon govern with a strong mandate.
