IGSS

Thanks so much to all the participants of our 2019 conference! We had a record turnout and it was great to see both the new and familiar faces.

@GraceFinniFox Wrapping up a great session focused on determinants of epigenetic age at IGSS 2022. She and @laurenlschmitz use @hrsisr to link the Great Recession with epigenetic clocks @UWSoc @uwcdha

.@jasondboardman slays as usual, laying down the challenge to ditch “European ancestry only” analyses at @IGSSConference. Differences in predictive ability of PGS by race/ethnicity “screams social.” 👏👏 #IGSS2022

Thrilled to welcome @drjenndowd as our keynote speaker to close out day 1 at IGSS this year. The Human microbiome as new focus in social genomics

Great way to start the day at IGSS2022--Applied Microbiome Analyses workshop with @JTFouquier

@OxfordDemSci @IGSSConference It's so hard to get me to accept talk invites in Boulder! ;) Looking forward to seeing everyone at #IGSS2022 @jasonmfletcher @jasondboardman @IGSSConference

@jasondboardman and @jasonmfletcher are looking forward to welcoming everyone to Boulder for IGSS 2022 next week. We have a great schedule cupc.colorado.edu/conferences/IG… keynote by @drjenndowd and microbiome workshop by @JTFouquier

Extremely excited to see my (first first-author) paper now out @PNASNews! We develop a novel framework named QUAIL that uses quantile regression to identify SNPs associated with phenotypic variability (vQTL). Work is supervised by @Q_StatGen. pnas.org/doi/abs/10.107…. 1/n

Back door to a dead end, a review of @kph3k’s book, The Genetic Lottery: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… I reformulate my tweets from last fall, that the book misrepresents the type and strength of evidence. I also outline my own views of some next steps for social science genetics.

Major congratulations to @jasondboardman for winning the 2020 Clifford Clogg Award from @PopAssocAmerica. An inspirational leader in integrating genetics and social science (e.g @IGSSConference), among so many other areas youtube.com/watch?v=98YQoD…

I’m thrilled to say that starting this fall I’ll be an assistant professor of Public Affairs and Sociology at the University of Wisconsin—Madison! Very excited to become a badger.

I've accepted an offer as full professor at the La Follette School of Public Affairs at UW Madison, as one of three people hired by UW's Social Genomics Cluster. This is SO exciting! America, here I come (in Sept)... @UWLaFollette @jasonmfletcher @laurenlschmitz @UWMadison
