Hey there, potential follower!
A heads-up that I repost A LOT because a lot of things interest me and I think a lot of things are worth sharing.
You may find some common themes you're not equally excited about, so mute keywords and accounts as needed.

Working in a supportive environment where people go out of their way to help you succeed will really rewire your brain and hit reset on your sympathetic nervous system, huh.

This sets a really troubling precedent. Texas A&M is the university with the largest student body in the US. This will certainly have a chilling effect across the country.

“The policy defines race ideology as, among other things, ‘a concept that attempts to shame a particular race or ethnicity.’”
These GOP-led efforts will ruin their states’ public universities. Sad!

Oof this is going to be rough for NIH-funded folks who’ve already been set back. And another shutdown in January on the way just in time for council
Just got an email from my SRO for the study section that was missed in October. Good news is that they are trying to reschedule ASAP (Dec/Jan). The bad news is that CSR is mandating that only the the top third (not half) of applications will get discussed for the next 2 rounds.

People that say Boston is full or there’s no room for housing, rally under estimate the low density land usage around commuter rail stations. Stations that could be converted to rapid transit with @transitmatters.bsky.social recommendations

Big shoutout to my K99/R00 PO, who dove into her 6 week backlog of emails to respond to my R00 application mere hours after the government re-opened. And then she responded to my reply, 1 hour later. Her email speed skills are legendary.

Nice! Whole-genome heritability estimates in the UK Biobank. Average WGS-h2 was 26%, with 21% common and 5% rare. Broadly aligns with recent sib-reg and RDR estimates.
First time on Bsky and first big announcement!
I am excited to announce that our new study explaining the missing heritability of many phenotypes using WGS data from ~347,000 UK Biobank participants has just been published in @Nature.
Our manuscript is here: www.nature.com/articles/s41....
