Our goal is to have 1000 SUFS Teach Ins across the US, by 9/30. GASP 😮 We know, it's a big goal. If you've received tax dollars for your science, you have a responsibility to inform your community what is at stake: public health, the economy, innovation, and America's global leadership.

The overall silence of major professional scientific societies while all this goes on is also bewildering. By the time they forcefully speak up, much damage will already have been done. 🧪

Have you ever wondered about nonlinearity in bivariate genetic associations? Or wondered whether global estimators like genetic correlations tell the full story about the relationship between two phenotypes, then check out @michelnivard.bsky.social thread on some work we’ve been doing to model this.

Thanks to the more than 1100 members of the scientific community who have signed the letter to insist that the Royal Society remains true to values that we all hold dear but that Musk FRS has ridden roughshod over. Please keep signing & sharing. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
