Thank you @brucespringsteen.net for (yet again) meeting the moment and speaking up for America in these dangerous times...and giving us some hope in the Promised Land.

Tonight, Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band opened their Land of Hope & Dreams Tour. Bruce launched this run of shows with three statements about the situation in the United States, with comments preceding his songs Land of Hope and Dreams, House of a Thousand Guitars and My City of Ruins.

Thank you @martamlahr.bsky.social @lquintanamurci.bsky.social @aliceleplongeon.bsky.social @cschlebu.bsky.social for organizing a such a fantastic mtg!!! Lots of great science and fun!😃👏 #HumanEvo25

Keynote talk from OG Mark Stoneking on the peopling of the Pacific! #HumanEvo25

Kirk Lohmueller DominL uses patterns of archaic ancestry to infer degree of dominance. Provides statistical support for the presence of recessive deleterious mutations in the human genome. Up to 15% of the human genome may carry recessive deleterious mutations! 🧬 #HumanEvo25

ML, allele dominance, selection and fitness informing on #Neanderthal introgression by @klohmueller.bsky.social 🥰 🧬! #HumanEvo25

@paleogenomics.bsky.social speaking about the effects of colonization on Mexican genetic variation #HumanEvo25

@amygoldberg.bsky.social telling us about integrating genetic variation and archeology to infer recent processes #HumanEvo25

Easter tri-tip! This is going to taste even better after my 7.5 mile run this AM. Trying to find some joy despite everything. Nervous about what this week will bring…

stdpopsim v0.3.0 is out! You can now mix and match your simulations of different demographic histories with published distributions of fitness effects along with gene annotations, and you can even throw in sweeps for good measure. Check out the new manuscript for more info: doi.org/10.1101/2025...

My review of computational methods for anthropological genetics with @kwittadna.bsky.social is out for the Yearbook issue of AJBA. We talk about all sorts of cool methods that YOU could use too! Also check out this great figure we commissioned from @janey1216.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/ajpa...

Come join us at UCLA!

The Genetics Society of America @genetics-gsa.bsky.social is "advocating for science and for scientists. We seek to cultivate an inclusive, diverse research community that engages with the public...& serves as an authoritative source of information." Pls consider joining genetics-gsa.org/membership/

Registration is now open for the Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Ecological and Evolutionary Genomics in Tuscany, co-chaired by me and @jcbnunez.bsky.social! This meeting is a unique opportunity for early-career researchers to present their work and network. www.grc.org/ecological-a...

UCLA QCBIO is looking for its next director! Please consider applying! recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF10007

Last bit of calm to the start of the new year before what promises to be a chaotic (hopefully in a good way!) quarter🫠This is one of many beautiful hiking paths near LA.

GSA’s on Bluesky, y’all! Do follow us for updates on everything we do as a scientific society, including amazing science in Genetics and G3!

I am truly honored to have been nominated to run for a Director position for the Genetics Society of America (GSA)! GSA members, vote before December 6. My candidacy statement can be found here: genetics-gsa.org/2024-electio...

It made my day to have reached boss-level at giving snark and bad advice #MidCareer #winning😂😀😂

Hi all! I'm excited to announce a tenure track faculty position in conservation genomics in EEB at UCLA! We're looking for candidates who use genomic tools to study evolutionary processes related to conservation. Note, the actual application deadline is Nov 29. recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF09875

Excited to share our latest manuscript on gene-environment interactions in the UKBiobank: www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Wow just read the best freaking post by @economeager.bsky.social This is literally the most important advice. This should be framed and posted in every department. The hammer hits people into the anvil too often. rachaelmeager.substack.com/p/finish-you...

Super-excited to share our latest on the genomic effects of whaling! Proud of first authors Sergio Nigenda-Morales & Meixi Lin as well as Andres Moreno-Estrada & Bob Wayne for leading it. This project meant a lot to Bob, especially during his illness. l know he'd be glad to see it published!
