@sundermannaj.bsky.social's work highlights the undeniable impacts of pathogen genomics in healthcare. But pathogen genomics in healthcare remains the exception, not the norm.
We spent an hour exploring the challenges and potential solutions to more broad adoption.

Our @eh-hayles.bsky.social had a wonderful time @fogenomics.bsky.social presenting her #genomic #epidemiology of SARS-CoV-2 in Norfolk through the pandemic looking at lineage dynamics. We think the force might have been on her side..
