Piling then all in one environment is as bad as relying on system install
I am working with an intern this summer, and I showed them how to install and use conda.

I recommend using separate environments for different conda tools

For example:

conda create -n seqkit
conda activate seqkit
conda install -c bioconda seqkit

(or conda create -n seqkit -c bioconda seqkit)

A great explainer from CDC's Dr. Amy Kirby on the use of targeted sequencing for #wastewater -based #pathogen #surveillance #nwss

This hands-on demonstration is one of my favorite things that AMD comms has come up with, and that's a pretty high bar. So cool.

One thing I internalized today, do not stay after you stop being welcome and useful. You are ineffective and you kill your legacy.
