Geospatial and demographic patterns of SARS-CoV-2 spread in Massachusetts from over 130,000 genomes
Despite intensive study, gaps remain in our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 transmission patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic, in part due to limited contextual metadata accompanying most large genomic s...

Celebrate 10 years of One Truth and ACEGID with the premiere of the One Truth Remix. feat. @pardissabeti.bsky.social, Philomena Eromon, & Thousand Days Band. May it bring hope & unity into the new year. ✨ 👀 bit.ly/3BCEg9o
THOUSAND DAYS & PHILOMENA EROMON -- ONE TRUTH REMIX MUSIC VIDEO
In celebration of the struggle we all share, and all those who are in this fight for a better world, we are pleased to share our “One Truth” remix. We first wrote the song amidst the Ebola outbreak just after ACEGID’s founding. This new version and music video were made to honor ACEGID’s (now the Institute for Genomics and Global Health) tenth anniversary. Enjoy! "One Truth" Lyrics: I’m sitting in here in this room Watching everything move I do not know how this city was built We are forsaken to the sound oh that life that goes but we were born to radiate Chorus Uhh uhh uhh uhh yeah yeah yeah yeah x 3 We are gathered on the ground waiting for a sign to arrive looking for the answers in the starry sky but we were home all along and we are the light ---we think, we speak, we walk, we breathe the air Chorus Uhh uhh uhh uhh yeah yeah yeah yeah x 3 A lifetime that we write We laugh We cry We pray We are love -- We dream We scream We strive Our hunger will never die I’m here in this fight, always Chorus Uhh uhh uhh uhh yeah yeah yeah yeah x 6 A lifetime for one for one truth That I’m alive, And so are you We are here, We are the proof A lifetime for one for one truth x 3 Website: https://acegid.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/acegid_igh/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/acegid-igh/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/IGHupdates Twitter: https://twitter.com/acegid_igh
