My first paper from my postdoc in the Maitreya Dunham is out (and open access!). Lots of thanks to collaborators, everyone who advised us in this foray into human genetics and variant curation, and to everyone who's worked on G6PD papers and databases over the decades!

Caffeine and baking with yeast - two of the most important things that got us through 2020! Check out this preprint by incredible Maitreya Dunham undergrad alum Naomi on how high school students were able to keep doing cool research on yeast and caffeine from home!

In this month's edition of Inside AJHG, hear from Renee Geck, PhD, about her paper "Functional interpretation, cataloging, and analysis of 1,341 glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase variants": ashg.org/ajhg/inside-aj…

Such a privilege to have mentored Naomi for her undergraduate research project, including her first first-author paper! Stay tuned for more cool research on yeast and caffeine in the future!

I love all of the creative thinking and experimentation in Maitreya Dunham, spurred onwards by Maitreya’s encouragement to explore and innovate! A great interview from BBI.

If you think evolutionary genetics is cool, you should either go work for Pengyao (creative science and a supportive mentor!!) or at least keep an eye out for all of the work that will come from her lab and shape how we understand mutations and variation.

Excited to be here - already met great people and looking forward to hearing about all this excellent research in the next two days!

So grateful to be able to work with AllofUsResearch for my project in Maitreya Dunham - All of Us wrote a very nice feature highlighting the importance of diverse biobank data for variant interpretation and precision medicine! allof-us.org/437HsSX

BREWMOR summer BigBREW - Learn how to use primary literature in the classroom. Wed, July 26 2-5 pm US EST & workshop Fri, July 28th 12-2pm US EST. If you have experience to share, submit an abstract for a talk by June 21 & register (free!) tinyurl.com/bigbrew2023 #BREWMOR2023

The diversity of the All of Us database enables exciting genetic discoveries, like 118 previously unreported variants of G6PD. Learn how and what this means for #PrecisionMedicine in our new #ResearchHighlight: allof-us.org/45AmXzX

My dog might be very small, but he's helping us take a big stand for fair contracts! Equity is not optional! Proud of all the picket pups, fellow postdocs and RSEs, and community supporters for your solidarity 💙

This is what I wanted to see after the NIH RFI about the postdoc experience 👏🏻👏🏻 The data is clear, now it needs to be acted upon…

@BREWMOR is excited to announce📢 that registration (free!) is open for attending our upcoming virtual BigBREW🍺 event on "Integrating Primary Literature into the Classroom" on Wed July 26 2-5p US EST +optional workshop Fri July 28 12-2p. Register🔗➡️ tiny.cc/BREW2023
