Snowy and cold, not conducive to protest. But it’s so bad even nerds showed up in numbers!!!!

Lastly, this one’s for Laura Kiessling (dont know if she's on here). At a conference dinner last year, when Rafa and I were discussing SBS and joining the dots between our postdoc tenures, she said guys, you should write this up! So we did.

But it was also possible because the inventors realized upfront what was needed to make the technology successful and had the capacity to identify key problems to be solved. Rafa and I hope you enjoy sharing this article with your chemistry and biology students! 11/n

In this perspective we bring out how central chemistry was to realize this paradigm-changing technology and how people from different disciplines came together, thought outside the box, took big risks and failed far more times than you could imagine. 10/n

The speed and cost of SBS led to it being the backbone of our response to the pandemic before the vaccine arrived. It sequenced SARS-CoV-2 genome, informed vaccine design, tracked variants of concern & pinpointed pandemic hotspots that in turn informed govt travel policies. 8/n

I remember telling Shankar that while we imagined SBS would save lives by sequencing human genomes, none of us imagined it sequencing one small viral genome gazillions of times to save so many lives so fast. 9/n
