Thank you for highlighting this call. To ensure WHO develops guidance appropriate for all settings, strong experts from LMIC as well as HIC are needed. If you think you fit the bill, please apply before Jan 7.

Sincere thanks to all those that gave input to this @WHO document, which builds on the momentum from COVID-19 pathogen genomic data sharing, laying out equity, capacity development, and timeliness considerations. Collaboration is central to science and public health

#OpenScience could be fantastic if implemented well. #Equity is central. Open Science doesn't necessarily enhance equity and could even compound inequities if done wrong. Interesting perspective @doctorsoumya
