As a PhD student, my supervisor never answered my emails. Then I became a PhD supervisor and realised why A thread🧵 of my mistakes and how to avoid them #phdchat #AcademicTwitter

Our review of Mendelian randomization and colocalization "Combining evidence from Mendelian randomization and colocalization: Review and comparison of approaches" is now online at AJHG: authors.elsevier.com/a/1ey76geX2WXN. Summary follows!

We are seeking to appoint 3 post-doctoral fellows with great potential and ambition to become leading scientists. Please join our team in the fast-moving field of genomics data generation and analysis to save lives in real-time! ceri.org.za/news/?token=556 Stellenbosch University University of KZN

Our paper "Promoting the Genomic Revolution in Africa through the Nigerian 100K Genome Project" is published in Nature Genetics today The wait for the AFRICAN LARGEST RICH WELL-CHARACTERIZED Genomic data is almost over. @weare54gene @AbasiEneobong nature.com/articles/s4158…

This will be an invaluable resource for genomics research in Africa and beyond. Excellent collaboration between academia and industry. Segun Fatumo @AbasiEneobong @weare54gene nature.com/articles/s4158…

Super excited to be awarded the 2021/22 Research Development Fellowship by @AfrResExFund. Grateful to Dipender Gill Segun Fatumo and Moffat Nyirenda for their support.

Super excited to see our paper titled “Transferability of genetic risk scores in African populations” published Nature Medicine Excellent collaborative work co-led with my friend Tinashe Chikowore and a senior postdoc in our group The African Computational Genomics Research Group - Abram Kamiza. nature.com/articles/s4159…

Our group The African Computational Genomics Research Group today in Uganda, saying goodbye to an amazing postdoc Opeyemi Soremekun who has won two fellowships and leaving to the UK - to spend 3wks in Cambridge University with Amy Mason Cambridge-Africa and 9months at Imperial college with Dipender Gill @AfrResExFund

Opeyemi Soremekun, Post-Doctoral Researcher at @The_MRC/UVRI and London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, will be speaking at the Festival of Genomics and Biodata in London this January. More info here: hubs.la/Q01sFn1T0 #fog2023 Opeyemi Soremekun

Interesting preprint from @weare54gene scientists describing an analysis of 449 whole genomes from Nigeria spanning 47 ethnolinguistic groups. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

😃Busy day out and about today - meeting with the lovely folks at Sickle Cell Society with Dr Marie Nugent this morning, before scooting over to #Fog23 for a late 🧟‍♀️ panel at 4:10 on the “Secret Stage” with @KKuchenbaecker and Opeyemi Soremekun talking #diversity #depression and #genetics

Time to showcase and improve the representation of Africans in genomics. We would like to invite researchers to submit their work to a special issue in the Annals of Human Genetics Editor, Annals of Human Genetics Opeyemi Soremekun @Felixchilunga onlinelibrary.wiley.com/page/journal/1…
