Fantastic keynote by Henry de Vries
His short history of #STI covers changing views of STIs, sexuality, AIDS, queer theory and sex positivity
But moves on to where we are now with illiberalism

Benefits and risks: informal use of antibiotics to prevent sexually transmitted infections on the rise in key populations in the Netherlands
Survey data from the Netherlands show high interest and intention to use antibiotics to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs). A new approach to prevent bacterial sexually transmitted infecti...
Using the antibiotic doxycycline used as post-exposure & pre-exposure prophylaxis (doxyPEP/PrEP) can prevent #STI
Even though it's currently not recommended in the Netherlands, 15% of 1,633 survey participants stated recent informal use without prescription

Agreed - my first thought when I saw this was "why not just use ENA anyway?". I'm open to being convinced there is a reason to prefer SRA (even with this).

So glad this is finally out. The method has been instrumental in allowing us to compress the AllTheBacteria data - ~2 million bacterial genomes shrink from 3Terabytes (gzipped) to 100Gb using phylogenetic compression. Great work by @brinda.eu
