A thread, please indulge me. “I’m disabled, and that’s ok”. This is a mantra I use when I recognize that why I couldn’t finish something is due to the limitations of my physical body. I think another mantra others could use right now is “Its a pandemic, and my work is ok” 1/18

This @ScienceNews article quotes our @UMmedschool Institute for Genome Sciences' Tim O'Connor @OcOutlier “Having a #pangenome reference allows us to assess that population-specific variation in a much more detailed way.: sciencenews.org/article/new-hu…

My family just spoke about blood type for 40 minutes. I love them so much.

Sharing this in case it's useful: I find that students often have a hard time conceptualizing quantitative parameters in genomics and popgen Here's a cheat-sheet I put together for teaching. It's also part of a textbook I have been writing on human genetics (more on that below)

Key point being made here (at least the way I understand it) is related to who/what generates hypothesis and how. Traditionally, hypotheses r proposed by humans (usually on a small-scale), often based on domain knowledge -> triggers data generation to verify hypotheses. 1/
