At #MCIDdynamics/#HumanViruses conference:
- Everyone tested on arrival
- All masked (except speakers while speaking) in sessions
- All breaks/lunch/posters outside
- Sewage monitoring in the housing
The most comfortable I've been at a conference recently. Organizers take note!

Doing things outside is much easier in San Diego than, say Texas 🥵 (where I am now) or many places in Europe 🌧️.
But requesting tests, masking, & ventilation are things that can be done anywhere. With cases rising in many places, we deserve to make conferences safer for all.

In particular, poster sessions - historically crowded, hot, & full of people drinking & talking loudly - are worth a rethink. Can we move them outside? To a much, much larger room? Open all doors/windows? Space them out? Encourage masking?
Worth considering creative solutions!

After 2 long virtual years, *so happy* to be back at #UCSDdynamics Dynamics & Evolution of Human Viruses in person in beautiful San Diego! Brilliant sessions on everything from #HIV to #SARSCoV2 & many viruses in between, with fantastic global scientists & experts! 
Opening the conference, @manonragonnet shows the relationship of drug & antibody treatment for #SARSCoV2 on the appearance of resistance mutations, as well as their ability to escape. These mutations are rare in the general pop; mostly assoc with treatment.

@sarehchimeh gives an interesting talk on how & whether we can detect increased selection on surface-exposed areas of #HumanViruses - since these are exposed to the immune system, might we expect to see them evolving faster?
