How moderating started vs how it's going #ASHG20

Join Helix at the digital #ESHG2025, May 24-27! 🧬💻 Discover our groundbreaking research: • Population genomics & health outcomes • New genetic associations in cardiometabolic traits • Genomic insights into neurological disorders bit.ly/43B8cxA

We're excited to be at #ACMG2025 in Los Angeles, CA from March 18-22! Check out the full list of our posters and presentations here: bit.ly/4hlYQcH. Come by Booth #440 to meet our experts: @alexbolze, @kellyschiabor, @NatalieTelis, @cassiehajek and more!

@Caltrain Been riding Caltrain for 10+ years and so excited about new trains. However, crossing gates are staying closed after trains arrive, not allowing people to cross to the opposite platform to board. Seen car gridlock PLUS multiple passengers duck under gates due to errors. Scared!

Celebrate #CleanAirDayCA by riding public transit! Our new electric trains are cleaner and greener, reducing annual emissions by 250K MTC02 equivalent to taking 55,000 cars off the road! 🌱

Just in time for the holidays, Luke Zhu, Annabel Beichman, and I have a new theory preprint that proposes a solution to a point of conflict between models of germline and somatic mutation rate evolution: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Come to my talk this morning at #ASHG2023 ! Or if you’re too hung over 😉 🙃 read my preprint: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Join the Helix team at #ASHG2023 live on Nov 4th at 11:45am ET as we present novel research using #Exome sequencing data to identify and characterize polycystic kidney disease (PKD) in patients with hypertension. Learn more here! bit.ly/40qnSR2

@jdidion I’m happy to try it out 🤔 if you’ve got an invite left 🙂

Just recently there seems to be a critical mass of genomics/bfx twitter moving to the site that rhymes w “true pie”. For now I’m going read-only here and will do any posting over on the other app. I have 5 invite codes if anyone needs them. Mutuals only. First come first serve.

One of the most impactful talks I’ve seen was @NatalieTelis’s presentation on the gender gap regarding question-asking at conferences (incl ashg). A few years ago, I wrote about my takeaways and tips for building up the confidence to ask questions. 1/3 ruthjohnson95.github.io/posts/2018/10/…

Study of a psychology conference (N=375; 63% men) finds men asked 78% of questions & talked 3.5x as much. Men more likely to be the first in line to ask a question. 2nd study finds women feared backlash in askinq q's & expressing opinions. @Shoshana_Jarvis bps.org.uk/research-diges…

Computational geneticists talking about sequencing costs

This is Fedir Shandor. He's fighting for #Ukraine. In a peaceful life, he's my colleague — uni lecturer & the Head of the Department of Sociology at Uzhhorod National University. In the photo, he's giving online lectures to his students, from the trench on the front line.

We are excited to share our new preprint extending our analyses of coalescence times on the X chromosome under different types of first-cousin consanguinity. This work was done with Alissa Severson, @ShaiCarmi , and @NoahARosenberg. doi.org/10.1101/2022.0… 1/7

I was recently offered a nice honour -- nothing too major, and no financial consequences, but flattering and I would have liked to accept it. Indeed, in the past I would have accepted it. However, it required me to make a transatlantic flight, 1/

@CaltrainAlerts I can’t find anyone else on board. Please help 😂

The Gilroy bus connection has arrived at SSF and boarded all GIL passengers. ETA to MIL 20 minutes.

At approximately 10:38 AM, SB506 struck on-track equipment in San Bruno. The driver of the vehicle has been transported to the hospital. Emergency personnel are on scene and trains are currently being held on both tracks. @SamTrans and @SFBART are offering mutual aid.

@CaltrainAlerts I got on some kind of train at SSF. it moved 40 feet and now isn’t letting me off

it’s true, but it hurts when people say the unvaccinated are part of the problem. my dad was the toughest, most problematic person in my life, and he believed his choice to not get vaccinated wouldn't affect anyone else. he was wrong. we're working through our rage and anxieties

hi friends. last week, my dad was one of the unvaccinated covid patients who “walked into the ICU and didn’t walk out” he died on Sat. night Dec. 11th, after a few days of struggling with oxygen levels & going on a ventilator. it all happened so fast. we couldn't say goodbye 💔

I am excited to announce my manuscript in the @yeo_lab exploring what we learned in the first year of @ucsddasl: "A remote lecture series roadmap to equity, diversity, and inclusion in STEM" biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Share with friends who want to run virtual seminar series! 🖥️
