Historically marginalized student representation drastically drops from undergrad to grad school.
Are underrepresented students unqualified? Or are grad school admissions unnecessarily confusing, costly, & gatekeeping?

super excited to share our new paper on polygenic epistasis! we introduce a new model and show how structured statistical epistasis can help us study complex trait biology. huge thanks to my friend and lab-mate @studyjeromics, and my mentor @andywdahl!

25 years ago, today (Oct 24, 1997), 'Gattaca' was released.
Me & @DocEdge85 chose to commemorate the event w/ a technical perspective recently published in GENETICS @GeneticsGSA
Here I'll just post several items related to the broader project.

Are you an undergrad thinking about grad school in a biology-related field? Do you identify as a member of a historically excluded group in STEM, grow up with in a disadvantaged background, or experience an ongoing disability? Come join our amazing @UCSF_PROPEL community!🧵
Incredibly excited to announce the 2023 @UCSF Virtual Matchmaking Event for Postbaccalaureate Scholars on Feb 1, 2023! Register by Jan 6! Come meet 6+ faculty with shared research interests, and join our amazing and thriving community! Visit justice.ucsf.edu for more info

cannot stop thinking about this paper -- the misuse and misinterpretation of genetics research is a hard and complicated problem but it is not hard and complicated to commit to having real, honest discussions about the societal implications of our work!
Our message: What if we routinely discussed — with each other, with colleagues in other disciplines, with our students, and with the public — the potential harmful impacts of our work? 3/3

It was a pleasure to work with and learn from @JedMSP @HennLab @dralhindi and @Nature in the processing of writing this commentary: nature.com/articles/d4158…. Thanks especially to @JedMSP for suggesting a lead photo centering the victims of hate crimes by white nationalists. 1/3

Have you ever wondered about whether epistasis shapes human quantitative traits? Is chasing it a fool's errand? Thanks to the wonderful postdoc program @ICERM, @lorin_crawford and I have dropped another single on @biorxivpreprint, co-led by Greg Darnell & @SLiMulateshady. 1/4

Come to my #ASHG21 poster today! We develop a novel statistical approach that leverages admixed genomes and find that causal variant effect sizes differ between populations. Monday Oct 18, 5:30-6:30pm EDT, PrgmNr 3719, with co-authors @RoshniAPatel @tassimes @sbmontgom @jkpritch
