The Greenlandic population offers significant potential for precision medicine. The largest analysis of its kind is now in nature. A big thank you to all participants in the health surveys throughout the last 25 years 🙏 nature.com/articles/s4158… 🧵1/6

I’ve done a lot of things in my lifetime, but I’ve always come back to teaching. When I decided to retire, I wanted to do it quietly. Instead, my colleagues at Inequality Media Civic Action decided to make a film about my last class. Learn more here. robertreich.substack.com/p/my-last-class

Congratulations to the newest members elected to the U.S. National Academy of Sciences in Evolutionary Biology today: Beth Shapiro, Fred Nijhout, and Jonathan Pritchard! Also International Member Valeria Souza from Mexico!

Save the date! ProbGen 2026 will be hosted at UC Berkeley, March 25 to March 28, 2026, featuring keynote speakers Jonathan Pritchard and Sally Otto. Help spread the message to people who are not this dystopian hellsite.

Two new postdoc positions in Computational/Statistical Genomics and Statistical Population Genetics, respectively, at the University of Copenhagen: employment.ku.dk/all-vacancies/… employment.ku.dk/all-vacancies/… . Please help us advertise.

Quantitative graduate students should start by studying this. Would save them endless frustrations.

Got several responses exploring which software can deal with this. My point was that students should not rely on the precision of any standard software/functions but should learn how to maintain precision and avoid underflow/overflow before starting to code.

Postdoc position in my group in Tokyo! Please get in touch if you are interested. And happy to discuss projects - ranging from developing new methods to analysis of new genomes that we are now sequencing in the lab. riken.jp/en/careers/res… Lab page: speidellab.github.io

I am thrilled to announce that I will be starting my own lab at NYU Biology Jan 2026! Soon enough I will be recruiting postdocs and students! Please reach out if you are interested with a CV and description of your research or if you know of people who could be interested!🧬🦊
