A panel discussion held in MRC Gambia at The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, recorded in front of a live audience of scientists in January 2020, when SARS-CoV-2 was just beginning to be reported as an emerging infectious disease.

The panel consisted of Andrew Page and David Baker from the Quadram Institute, Ozan Gundogdu from LSHTM (UK), Abdul Sesay from LSHTM (Gambia) and Nick Loman from the University of Birmingham and chaired by Suzie Hingley-Wilson from the University of Surrey.

Questions, discussion and comments from:

Mark Pallen - Quadram Institute

Muna Anjum - APHA

Arnoud van Vliet - University of Surrey

Martin Antonio - LSHTM

Archie Worwui - LSHTM

Unfortunately we weren't able to capture the audio from Nick Loman who joined via Skype, but he did make really great contributions.

We share short war stories about bioinformatics from the trenches of research. We share tales about a mystery massive Listeria outbreak, bubbles on flowcells, GAII woes, contaminated databases, the mass murderer, water pouring into a sequencing centre, changing protocols without validation, Excel issues and the ultimate complexity in science - Humans.

Kate Baker talks AMR

Someone asks a simple question like "What programming language should I learn?", without realising just how difficult it is to answer. We discuss different programming languages and their use in Bioinformatics.
