As a young PI, it can feel like everything is out of our control. But today, we used our lab meeting to have each person draft and submit comments on the OMB rule. It felt really good to prioritize this within the work day for our lab, and it felt more empowering to do it as a group.

I always say I'm not going to do this anymore, and then I do it anyway. Went state by state to cyclosporiasis counts. We're over 3,000 now, perhaps as high as 3,400. www.foiclinical.com/posts/cyclos...
foiclinical.com
Cyclosporiasis cases top 3,000
Cyclosporiasis reports now exceed 3,300 nationwide, with Michigan hardest hit at 1,562, followed by New York (470) and Ohio (364). No source identified.

Hantavirus is unlikely to spiral into a pandemic. But the real story is this: WHO is on the cruise ship. It's issuing clear guidance. It's coordinating across countries. CDC has been largely silent—no guidance to doctors, no public update.

Check out the preprint of a project I had the pleasure of working on with Nicola Mueller and Louise Moncla on North American H5 reassortment! Feel free to reach out with questions or thoughts!

This is my old team. The "rabies team will be down to just one person with the clinical expertise to advise state and local officials, and the pox virus team will have none." A disservice to our best scientists, the health departments that rely on them, and the country.

What could possibly go wrong? #CDC pauses support for states on testing for #rabies & #mpox because it doesn't have the personnel to do the work. 2 pathogens you really don't want to mess with, rabies & mpox. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/h...

Day 1 in a new lab: “You’ll be working on this organism now.” Me: cool cool cool (has never heard of it) I wrote the checklist I use to survive that situation: 👉 self-onboarding a new pathogen lskatz.github.io/posts/2026/0...

So you want to work on a new pathogen: a self-onboarding checklist
Imagine, you are a bioinformatician but you go into a new lab or go into a new project. You know your basics: genome assembly, genome annotation, SNPs, MLST, the usual toolkits. So you’re mostly good...

Howdy y'all! I'm planning to graduate in May. If you are in need of a postdoc with knowledge of phylogenetics, graph databases, and Nextflow pipelines (or know of someone who is), please send them my way!

Today (Tuesday), I'm presenting a poster on a flexible graph database pipeline for data integration, with a small teaser on a completed subsampling tool for phylogenetics, if you want to chat about that instead!

Any university that thinks this won't be their fate eventually is detached from reality. We work together or we fail apart.

I would have loved to see Penn State be a leader here. I will be happy enough if they are a follower.

In 2014 I was sent by an NGO to work on a vaccine program reconstruction plan in Northern Syria because an autocrat had decimated a highly effective program, putting millions of children at risk, both in Syria and neighboring countries through the refugee diaspora.

Just in time for the holidays, our lab has just submitted our first lab led paper www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...! We use phylodynamics to reconstruct how H5N1 got to North America and spread so rapidly. Full thread coming post holidays, but for now, super proud of @lambod50.bsky.social

This podcast makes me SO happy. It's everything I love about public health and helped motivate me to apply to infectious disease PhD programs back in 2019!
