We’re excited to announce that we are now accepting applications for the second year of the Black In Genetics Fellowship Program! Be sure to visit blackingenetics.com/big-fellowship for more details.

For folks still here, the first big project from my group is pre-printed. Super talented postdoc @mariaakop explored how reference bias can skew estimates of diversity, demography, divergence and recombination rate with help from @_ellie_cat and @GMenchev. Thread 👇🏽

I am incredibly grateful for this recognition! To be listed among scientists who have made indelible marks of pioneering advancements --- what a humbling experience!

Many Black scientists fall through the cracks during their postdoc; I almost did myself. Last month, 70+ @natblackpostdoc members met for the 1st time to strengthen our community.🙏🏾RT to help us reach new members/sponsors so we can continue to grow no matter the political climate
