Cool approach introduced by Emily Hodges at Vanderbilt Genetics Symposium: ATAC-Seq x BiSeq to look simultaneously at DNA accessibility and methylation over time — ATAC Me

Association of Genetic Variants With Warfarin-Associated Bleeding Among Patients of African Descent ja.ma/2S9MKZ1. So cool to see progress toward reducing rather than increasing health disparities — excellent work by Minoli Perera and colleagues!

Do celebrate the birth of a paper, or the gestation of a grant. They are as pure a distillation of our love for scientific inquiry as there is. Celebrate the science! Other people’s judgements might sometimes be worth celebrating too, but science first!

Day 2 of #FemStarScience and I champion Alex Fish Rebecca Levinson Lea Davis Daniela Robles @daniela-oaks.bsky.social paleogenomics And challenge my friend and colleague Karen Mohlke to name for each day for 1 week 5 rising female stars in science and challenge one senior woman!

Day 3 of my #FemStarScience challenge and celebrate Reyna L Gordon Reyna Gordon Maria Niarchou (she/her) Maria Niarchou Qiping Feng Selene FeRNAndez Selene Fernandez Cassianne Robinson-Cohen And challenge Anna Di Rienzo to name each day for 1 week 5 rising female stars and challenge 1 senior woman

Day 4 #FemStarScience I salute Jane Ferguson Megan Shuey Tyne Miller Martha Dudek Gillian Hooker And challenge the terrific Anna Greka (young but senior) to name each day for 1 week 5 rising female stars in science and challenge 1 senior woman

Having a blast CGSI-The Computational Genomics Summer Institute — amazing science, enthusiastic young people, and (if you enjoyed my Old Fashioneds at the picnic) dancing under the stars to Chaka Khan at the Hollywood Bowl!

Grateful I can be busy at home, so I don’t worry even more than usual. But for others also this lucky, remember not all of our loved ones share this luck. Reach out even more than usual, to family members and others who cannot work from home. #newtraditions2020

So love to see important new work in transcriptome genetics in African Americans. Congratulations to Team Perera!

So happy and excited to see Ben achieve this award!

Well-deserved award and so proud to be a collaborator!

Ken Lange is a treasure for the entire genetics community! Such an impact in our field with his research, his books and his many outstanding trainees!

Advocacy is hard work, but Dr. Jeff has always made it look easy because of her passion — thanks from the entire community!

Josee Dupuis — super mentor, super scientist, super leader. Congratulations on terrific award!

This has been one of the most fun and exciting projects to think about and work on from conception. Kudos to Doug and his team — fantastic work with terrific downstream utility!

So true! The one common certainty of senior women in science is that they “didn’t do it the right way” — they each did it a different right way for them!

Congratulations 🎉

Indeed! So much important research is being done with the GWAS catalog — pleiotropy, genetics in diverse populations, investigation of signatures of natural selection overlapping GWAS hits — being able to include cancer biology is critical.

Kevin Lu, Maggie Ng & Nancy J Cox are recruiting for a genetic epidemiology postdoctoral fellow! 📰Read more to join us in Vanderbilt Genetics Institute! 🧬 vanderbilt.edu/postdoc/prospe…

So excited to be passing the baton to such a thoughtful physician scientist engaged in both creating important new discoveries and in translating discovery for improving human health! We have such terrific young people deserving of leadership roles — GO ALEX!
