My lab will be hiring one more #cardioinformatics PhD student for Fall 2024. Contact me directly for more info.

Excited to announce the Penn Postdoctoral Fellowship in Genetics! We seek to empower and nurture talented early-stage researchers to pursue cutting-edge research in our department. Learn more here, due Jan. 15. med.upenn.edu/apps/my/bpp_po…

Delighted to see this out! Was fun to work with Ray Kreienkamp Miriam Udler Benjamin Voight to update the chapter on the genetics of type 2 diabetes in NIDDK book #diabetesinamerica Hopefully some useful figures in this chapter too for folks to use! ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK59741…

Golden silk orb-weaver (Trichonephila clavipes). If (or better, when) you walk head first into a spider web across a trail at La Selva 🇨🇷, chances are it’s one of these guys. This species is well studied, and even had its genome sequenced by Benjamin Voight: nature.com/articles/ng.38…

It's a pity that All of Us used UMAP to visualize ancestry variation in their new marker paper, out today in Nature. The UMAP algorithm, by design, exaggerates the distinctiveness of the most frequent ancestries, a message that can be misinterpreted by the public.

Abomination.

This is #BaldursGate3 absurd Is this evidence that Mind flayers are real? And living among us?? I did not ask for / desire this companion!? Can I pls leave him at camp? what the f is happening R.F.K. Jr. Says Doctors Found a Dead Worm in His Brain nytimes.com/2024/05/08/us/…
