New research by an international team led by @qmul.ac.uk have found new genetic links between genetically-predicted height and an individual’s likelihood of developing a range of diseases and conditions. These new data could help improve early diagnosis and risk monitoring for patients.

Many scientists like myself have held tepid liberal views, while ignoring genocides and colonisation. Now these forces have joined with research funding cuts, targeting minority, gender+LGBTQI research. Time to wake up and connect the dots. Be like Macklemore✊ youtu.be/sn9EKC9nqU4?...

The tech bro fascination with eugenics is so on brand. The idea that you could make accurate, actionable predictions from individual genotypes (with all their complex, non-linear interactions) from averaged, linearly modeled population-level genomic statistics is just another big data fantasy

I'm working on a little feature for Circa. It's been over a month since I really coded with all the other startup things like marketing and "strategic thinking" taking up my brain space, so it's really nice just to sit down and code a little algorithm and some SVG paths for overlap-avoiding text.

Journal clubbed this paper by Daniel Coral, Femke Smit, @paulwfranks.bsky.social, and colleagues. The writing simplifies complex methods brilliantly, and the GitHub materials are exceptional, setting a high standard for reproducible science. Tremendous work! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It’s so cool that we can measure this now. A big reason why new drugs fail? To say nothing of tissue-specific and cell-specific effects!
