I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the amazing team that have been responsible for @nextstrain and its work during the #COVID19 crisis. 1/11
Emma Hodcroft (@firefoxx66) has really lead the day-to-day operation, in terms of data flow and outreach, but also scientific analysis and insights. 2/11
James Hadfield (@hamesjadfield) has tirelessly lead development of the Auspice front-end visualization and is responsible for a large amount of the site's look-and-feel and has also contributed hugely to scientific insight and outreach. 3/11
Louise Moncla (@louisehmoncla), Miguel Parades (@miguelp1120), Moira Zuber (@MoiraZuber), along with Emma, have kept the lights on with running updates from Seattle and Basel multiple times a day for the past 115(!) days. Such unflagging dedication here. 4/11
Sidney Bell (@sidneymbell), Cassia Wagner (@wcassias) and Nicola Müller (@nicfelm) have lead the weekly situation reports (nextstrain.org/ncov-sit-reps). Keeping these happening every week has required enormous diligence. 5/11
John Huddleston (@huddlej) has lead development of the Augur bioinformatics software package and has coordinated efforts of open source contributors. 6/11
Richard Neher (@richardneher) as co-founder of the project has been an amazing partner and always seems to know exactly where to take things. 8/11
Also, Alli Black (@alliblk), Misja Ilcisin (@misja_ilcisin), Eli Harkins, Colin Megill (@colinmegill) and Olivia Pham (@OliviaPhamNow) have made various and significant contributions. 9/11
@nextstrain's work would not be possible without generous and open data sharing of SARS-CoV-2 genomes by groups from all over the world. We can't thank you enough for your contributions. We're just highlighting *your* data. 10/11
I'd also like to thank all the open source contributions to narrative translations and the software stack. The SARS-CoV-2 @github repository has 68(!) contributors (github.com/nextstrain/nco…). We've benefited from your expertise and generosity. 11/11
