I'm worried that testing is declining in the US. Some of this may be due to falling # of infections, but more b/c of shift in focus to vaccination. As we continue to worry about variants, now is not the time to dial back our surveillance. nytimes.com/live/2021/03/01/…
Why has coronavirus testing slumped in the U.S.? It’s complicated. (Published 2021)

It’s not either vaccination or testing; it’s a “both and” situation. Testing is still a hugely important early warning system for asymptomatic spread. washingtonpost.com/local/dc-…

A test run using ethylene response factor primers w 2 #sweetpotato genotypes: not bad for a 5K machine. Bring on P transporters? #openqpcr

Calibration apparently successful. Now on to more machine familiarization with actual #sweetpotato DNA and cDNA samples. #openqpcr
