Congratulations @claireicoffey on passing your PhD viva (it's not everyday your first PhD student graduates)! It's been a pleasure to supervise your work applying algorithmic fairness techniques to risk prediction models and polygenic scores with Angela Wood & Mike Inouye.

A great day for #FAIRdata and polygenic score research - the @PGSCatalog continues to grow past 5000 scores! . In honour of the occasion @Florent_Yvon & I commissioned some AI art (you should see the ones we scrapped). A massive congrats to the whole team!
>5000 Polygenic scores now available at As of today's release we've broken 5k PGS, indexing data from 673 unique publications. A big thank you to the authors submitting their data and our team in pursuit of #openscience, #FAIRdata, and reproducibility!

Check out the latest developments of all things @PGSCatalog, out now in @NatureGenet (🔗: )!. In this paper we describe big increases in the data content (and diversity) and our tool for PGS calculation (.
Excited to share our new preprint describing updates to the @PGSCatalog () and the PGS Catalog Calulator (pgsc_calc), a new tool for reproducible PGS calculation in the context of genetic ancestry (. Just in time for #ESHG24!. /🧵.
