I knew Shane Doyle back in the Sin É and Arlene’s days. Myself and @drgmcginty.bsky.social live where we live because Sin É created a nucleus for our generation of Irish in NYC. Rest well Shane. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/20/a...

Night Science is coming to NYGC!

“Epigenetic mechanisms have been found to, at least partially, mediate the effect of environmental factors in PTSD aetiology.” No, they have not. www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

I'm ambiguous about treating the trait of autism as a pathological condition, when it's really the co-morbidities that we need to diagnose and help, but this is scary. Autism evaluations are being canceled over fears about a national registry www.statnews.com/2025/05/01/a... via @statnews.com

Thanks to the organisers for the opportunity to be part of this excellent conference. www.cincypgm.com/agenda

Posting on behalf of Shamil Sunyaev: Eimear(Vice Chair) and I (Chair) are organizing the 2025 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Human Genetics and Genomics, which will be held on July 6-11, 2025 in beautiful University of Southern Maine, Portland, Maine.

This is just so sad. We need to do better supporting those caring for family members with medical problems. Can you imagine imposing a ‘work requirement’ on this mother so she could receive government assistance? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/n...

Complimentary semaglutide “You don’t need me, you look great”

I will be part of a panel this afternoon organised by BlackDoctor.org. Always awkward speaking on behalf of my Bronx patients, but maybe that's my most useful contribution. Link below: www.facebook.com/events/96578...

Just passed her PhD defense, everyone better start calling her Dr. Kassidy Lundy!

A massive investment to prove autism is due to exposures. I suppose you could call it hypothesis-driven research. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Would you mind taking a minute to vote for the New York Center for Rare Diseases video, which is up for a Webby award? vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting...

This is so far from normal. Outstanding colleagues doing great work as Columbia University are having their research funding frozen. I can’t think of any historical precedent for this. www.science.org/content/arti...

Hate that it has come to this, but it's time to consider PubMed vulnerable to enshittification. My latest post @plos.org discusses the lines we need to fight to hold – and alternatives we can rely on internationally: absolutelymaybe.plos.org/2025/02/14/w... #medlibs

For US colleagues getting laid off -- would you consider working in Ireland? A four year position is now available at the University of Galway working with my excellent colleagues Pilib Ó Broin and Cathal Seoighe universityvacancies.com/sites/defaul...

Great thread. See also our 'points to consider' statement www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Rebuilding after this vandalism is all over is going to be daunting. But rebuild we will. Five NIH institute directors and numerous lab heads ousted in unprecedented shake-up www.statnews.com/2025/04/01/n... via @statnews.com

Who had ‘genome’ and ‘prostitution’ in the same headline on their bingo card for 2025? www.thetimes.com/article/17ab...

Welcome Bing to the NYC scientific community!

Delete your 23&Me data. A bankrupt company is at risk of losing control over what happens to its assets. If your genome is such an asset, your genome could end up somewhere you would never have agreed to in the first place,

OK, I'm not going to say a word about this. Go ahead and list what's wrong with this study. We need a generation of reviewers to be confident expressing their concerns, just as we need researchers not to perform these wasteful and damaging studies in the first place. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Knowing more about him as a result of this historical description, I now have more sympathy for Charles Boycott.

This is a problem. Journalists at the The New York Times and elsewhere need to stop this lazy framing, prefacing a story with "Doctors said something clueless" and then jumping to "but weren't they made look foolish?" www.nytimes.com/2025/03/20/w...

Come work with us in Vancouver! UBC’s Department of Medical Genetics, in collaboration with The Life Sciences Institute, seeks an Assistant Professor working in chromatin regulation or genetic regulatory mechanisms. ubc.wd10.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/ubcfac...

Remixing in human evolution. loops and rivers in the flow of our ancestors - a million year clusterfuck. arutherford.substack.com/p/human-evol...

Difficult to see how this helps human health or medical research. Eric has been an outstanding leader in our genomics community. www.statnews.com/2025/03/17/t...

Dalton Conley is provocative in ways that are currently unusual, working off solid research to push us (me, anyway) out of our comfort zones, while retaining respect for the individual. Not everyone is likely to agree, but this is worth a read. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/o...

Anyone looking to Europe for research & interested in chromatin biology then we have opportunities in UCD, Ireland. Welcoming & diverse group & we would love to add thanksgiving to our seasonal celebrations! Postdoc: conwaychromatinlab.com/team PhD (MSc not required): www.coughlan-lab.com/team
