Not at #ASHG24 this year, but my excellent grad student, Dylan Steinecke, has a poster on our new sibling-based heritability estimator. Standard errors 10 times smaller than existing methods with no extra assumptions. See how on Fri, Nov 8, 2:30-4:40pm at Board 4147F!

Excited to share our preprint, describing a method for heritability partitioning with GWAS sumstats that significantly improves upon S-LDSC Led by the fantastic Hui Li, and co-supervised by Xihong Lin #ASHG24 poster 4089F medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

This is today! Hope lots of you get to stop by and ask my student really hard questions!

Many Black scientists fall through the cracks during their postdoc; I almost did myself. Last month, 70+ National Black Postdoctoral Association (NBPA) members met for the 1st time to strengthen our community.🙏🏾RT to help us reach new members/sponsors so we can continue to grow no matter the political climate

Is there anyone on here that has applied for a Re-entry Research Supplement from NIH? (grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n…) I have someone who seems like an ideal candidate for this, but I have a few questions.

Happy New Year everyone! Ten points to the first one who can tell me what is special about this year that hasn't been true since 1936 and won't be again till 2116!

Trying to apply for a Re-entry supplement for someone. To get it, he cannot be hired before the supplement is submitted and he must have a eRA commons ID through USC. USC cannot give him an ID until he is hired. I don't understand how this is supposed to work...

My lab and that of Jian Zeng are recruiting postocs to work on various stat gen projects. There are 3 positions advertised. Please check them out and share within your networks. Thanks! nature.com/naturecareers/… Closing Date is Feb 28, 2025.

Beyond excited to share this new paper with all of you . It's the most fun we've ever had. We figured out how to study a latent index driving partner choice without measuring it directly🥂 Qinwen Zheng Preprint📰: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Sumstats⬇️: qlu-lab.org/data.html

A very interesting read on the genetic architecture of partner choice "index" — or according to economics literature our "attractiveness in the marriage market"🧬 1/5

Ever wanted to understand the relationship between genetics, sociology, economics, psychology, epidemiology, neuroscience, and ethics? Now's your chance, with the greatest line of speakers we could put together. Best GRC meeting ever! June this year: grc.org/genes-behavior…

I am recruiting a quantitative/computational postdoc to my group at UCLA. This is a great opportunity to work on foundational theory, methods, and software in statistical genetics. Link to apply below. Please repost!

Started work on this in 2017 (as an RA) and finally excited to see it out in the world! I’m grateful that working with this team was my first full engagement with economics, it taught me how truly broad the field can be

I'm so fortunate that this paper got published in such a good journal. I hope that it can be a helpful guide for future researchers who want to work at the intersection of economics and genetics and estimate Gene-Environment interplay #GxE
