Please amplify: We are organizing a session entitled 'Earth Friendly Computation: Applying Indigenous Data Lifecycles in Medical and Sovereign AI' on Big Data, Indigenous data lifecycles, environmental impact at the Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (Pac Sym Biocomputing) on January

Ever wondered when you 'scaled down' parameters in SLiM, what is being simulated is actually comparable to what is intended by the model? We got an answer for you!

First paper from the lab! Work with Xinjun Zhang and led by super talented former USC QBIO - The 21st Century Biology Education student Tessa Ferrari. Stay tuned for a thread summarizing results.

Arizona State University (ASU School of Life Sciences ) has opened a line for a Presidential Postdoctoral Fellow position in comparative #genomics and One #Health . Looking for recent Ph.D. or equivalent doctoral recipients in the biological, computational, and genomic sciences to a future

Two new chapters from my open-access textbook in human population genetics are now online:
- Population structure: I. Ancestry estimation
- Population structure: II. More about admixture

Excited to see this preprint out 'A geographic history of human genetic ancestry' by Michael Grundler, Jonathan Terhorst & Gideon Bradburd biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

My talk was a case study of how one race science project, national IQ data, has become firmly embedded in the scientific literature, with the help of non-race scientists. Tho from now on I’ll follow discussant Tina Lasisi, PhD’s practice of referring to it as fanfic not data #AABA2024

Sold out show! Congrats Roshni Patel on your PhD defense. You make the field of Human Genetics 🧬 a more just and equitable one through your scholarship and dedication to education

Our paper on heritability is out (open access) at PNAS! I think it really improved through the review process, and we're glad to have this out there! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

🎉🎉Happy pub day to 'In the Land of the Unreal'! If you've already received a copy, help me celebrate by posting a picture of the book or a quote. I'm sharing in this thread some places you can go to learn more about the project. Duke University Press

Really appreciate the feature and post. This was a such an important (and fun) project to lead with Noah Rosenberg's thoughtful guidance and the help of Lily and Jonathan Pritchard.

I'm excited to share this new preperint with Matt Pennell and Doc Edge about the unifying mapping approaches within and between species biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

0/4: Recently, me & some good folk published a set of papers that examine properties of fitness landscapes that are somewhat relevant to predicting/controlling evolution (@ the protein level).

Excited to share this preprint with Doc Edge! We wanted to ask what you can learn how genetics explains between-group differences if you know how much genetics explains within-group differences. Turns out the answer is almost nothing! 1/
