There's a mass migration happening in science generally but especially human genomic medical-themed researchers!🧬. When the new US govt kicks in this Musk-owned platform is not where I want to be. If you're not already there, come join us 🦋.
Wow!. What on earth happened here?. (I don't mean "why did so many people move to a different social network," but "why did they all go to 🦋")

It is taking a lot of time and e-mails to set up payment to @dnanexus for my group. Still not successful, months after first contacting them!. In speaking to others, this is not uncommon. I *really* want to just pay them and get on with @uk_biobank analyses! Any tips?!

Thank you Pradeep for your support and advice for this project🙏😃. We’re thrilled to introduce DiscoDivas, a new method designed to generate Polygenic Risk Scores (PRS) for diverse espcially admixed populations.1/.

Amazing work towards generalisable polygenic scores across ancestries. Though the highest praise goes to whoever came up with DiscoDivas as the name of the method! Bravo 👏.
Current polygenic risk scores require binning of ancestry groups but we know ancestry is a continuum. Our study led by @Yunfeng_Ruan introduces DiscoDivas, a new generalizable PRS framework across the ancestry spectrum @medrxivpreprint @PRSdiversity

Microsoft "Bookings" is game changing! Knew it would be useful for students/tutees - but it makes arranging quick meetings with colleagues so much easier too (no more back and forths "can you do then? what about then?").
