I can’t recommend this enough.

UNBREAKING, a new project from @lizneeley.bsky.social & co, documents & explains our many concurrent institutional collapses.

It’s beautifully executed work, full of intellectual & moral clarity. 3 pages are live, more will come. It’s SO GOOD, & I learned so much.
👋 Hi, we’re Unbreaking, a volunteer-run collective working to document our current moment of institutional collapse and its human costs—as well as the pushback and resilience work already underway. We believe this is critical work for building and retaining political agency.

Two new chapters from my free online book in human genetics out this weekend!
These complete Part 3 of the book, on human population structure and history:
3.3: Inferring human prehistory from genetic data [this thread]
3.4: Ancient DNA [next thread]

Happy to share that our WEGS paper is out today in NPJ Genomic Medicine!! Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this work! Special kudos to Daniel Taliun who led this work with me!

First author Josh Schraiber posted this new preprint of ours on the other place, but he's not on here yet, so I guess it's up to me

Family-based GWAS have become the gold standard for assessing causal genetic effects. They’re often said to offer an unbiased estimate of the average causal effect (ATE) of an allele or PGS. Here, we (Carl Veller & @mollyprz.bsky.social ) evaluate such statements.
