Kicking off the new year, our paper by @leo_speidel et al. is out describing what to me is a breakthrough in ancient genomics. By using genealogies to study ancestry we can get much more resolution to study finer-scale history. We call this method Twigstats.

1/ Human genetics has traditionally been framed and studied using approaches that assume discrete, unchanging clusters such as continental groups🗺️. But what if this oversimplifies complex genetic relationships and co-produces racial frameworks?🤔

Para los que se sientan desanimados esta mañana (como yo), una cita que me envió una amiga. Habrá mucho trabajo por hacer, independientemente de la ideología política que uno tenga. Pero esa parte no ha cambiado.

The ruling party in Puerto Rico, the pro-statehood PNP, has sought and received a court order for early vote counting to continue even when there is no representation from each political party at the table, contrary to what’s been the norm here to guarantee a fair election.
Valeria Collazo@ValeriaCollazoC

AHORA: Tribunal de Primera Instancia falla a favor del PNP y decide que el conteo del voto adelantado debe seguir ininterrumpidamente, aunque NO haya balance. “Se entenderá que los partidos que no tengan funcionarios presentes están renunciando a su representación en balance”, dice la sentencia.

IMPORTANTE: Cambio en las instrucciones de votación a dos días de las elecciones generales y cuando ya miles de personas emitieron su voto adelantado.
