Open Science Prize winner announced | The Horizons Tracker

"The Open Science Prize is an initiative from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) and the Wellcome Trust that is designed to encourage and support the practice of open science.

The winner this year was Trevor Bedford of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, whose team developed nextstrain.org, which is a website to integrate open sequence data from research teams around the world to help model the evolution of viruses in real time.  The platform provides a graphic tool to help facilitate pathogen surveillance and epidemiological investigations."
