I was lucky enough to spend the week in the Brazilian Congress of Virology in Ouro Preto. I had a wonderful time and met some amazing colleagues. Also spent a bit of time seeing the wonderful historic city. #virology #viruses #brazil #OuroPreto

Congratulations! It's been a few years of tremendous transition in viral taxonomy I hope we're entering a time of very few changes so we can all catch our collective breaths. My begomoviruses just got their binomial names and I haven't used any in a paper yet...

@siobain agreed! It will take a while to get used to many of the new names - lots of big changes with giant virus taxonomy too. But I am hopeful that the new system will make things easier in the long run.
