RaukR is an #rstats summer school (~1.5 weeks) I've taught at a few times. Highly recommended for content (of course I'm biased 😁), smooth organization, and an amazing location (Visby 🏰 on the island of Gotland in Sweden 🇸🇪). Intrigued? Sign up to get notified when RaukR 2026 opens for registration.

📢Today Pathoplexus announces the inclusion of 2 new viral pathogens: RSV (A & B) and HMPV.
These respiratory viruses cause a serious health burden, particularly in infants & the vulnerable, & Pathoplexus aims to support sequence sharing to improve understanding & response.
