We were happy to round out the year by meeting wit We were happy to round out the year by meeting with our INFORM partners at the NIH DS-I Africa consortia meeting in South Africa at the end of 2022. Now in its second year of operation, the NIH INFORM consortium aims to pull together COVID-19 and HIV data streams, as well as genomic data, epidemiological data sets, spatial mobility data, and environmental and socioeconomic data from across a few different projects and analyze them geospatially. It was great to convene in person, and we're eager to share data insights discovered through this partnership.
