Towards a phenome-wide catalog of human clinical traits impacted by genetic ancestry.
Dumitrescu L, Restrepo NA, Goodloe R, Boston J, Farber-Eger E, Pendergrass SA, Bush WS, Crawford DC,. Racial/ethnic differences for commonly measured clinical variables are well documented, and it has been postulated that population-specific genetic factors may play a role. The genetic heterogeneity of admixed populations, such as African Americans, provides a unique opportunity to identify […]

Dogs are a remarkable species for understanding genetics and genomics. Their phenotypes are diverse, yet they are all one species. Their breeding is often precise and controlled, which makes genetic studies more straightforward. Basically, dogs are perfect. #GenomeFacts pic.twitter.com/95Ki6bQKlV

Redfield and others like him use the weight of science and leadership positions to amplify conspiracy theories without actual scientific evidence, all under the cowardly protection of "opinions are my own." #notarealscientist twitter.com/CUEpidemiology…

Wow: @crystaljjlee of @mitvis show in beautiful and informative data visualizations that @GovMikeDeWine is frequently mentioned in the anti-masker social networks. Hits too close to home in more than one way. #WearAMask twitter.com/mitvis/status/…
📢 We're excited to publish "The Data Visualizations Behind COVID-19 Skepticism", an interactive scrollytelling follow-up to our #chi2021 paper on "Viral Visualizations". https://t.co/mCh9DPPozS

"That is very frustrating from a scientific standpoint and becomes extremely problematic when you're trying to implement a public health effort that could be lifesaving," he says. "And when you don't implement it, well, people die. That's serious."--Dr. Fauci twitter.com/NPR/status/136…
Listen to Dr. Francis Collins and Dr. Anthony Fauci reflect on the past year — from fighting "egregious" disinformation about the vaccine to when they think life will start to feel more normal.https://t.co/yvQuxZEOLs

@MikeEberle It’s hard to say—they were both wearing masks. #WearAMask
Received two compliments today at two separate businesses for my science mask combo. Gives me hope that people don’t believe all the garbage online about #COVID19. Let’s not be TX, OH. #WearAMask
@GreeneScientist @ontowonka @CUAnschutz WHAT? This is HUGE! Congrats to @GreeneScientist @ontowonka -- looks like you @CUAnschutz are building something great!
Feeling a pang of nostalgia for our old Nashville home. So much respect for @DollyParton in her artistry, philanthropy, and enormous capacity for compassion. Such a responsible use of celebrity. Here's hoping for another song on the second dose. twitter.com/DollyParton/st…

No pseudoscience here! Thrilled to have been invited by @clschuerger and @CWRU Women in Sciences and Humanities Earning Doctorates (WISHED) for last week's early evening discussion of big data and bias in research and in life.
Putting real science to meaningful practice: @CWRU is now an official vaccination site for the Cleveland area. case.edu/vaccine/ #COVID19
So proud to be associated with a scientist who applies her expertise and rigor in all her endeavors e.g., award winning "Dat Rona" episode dispelling harmful lies and conspiracy theories about COVID-19 severity and vaccines. #COVID19 tinyurl.com/czmzmza twitter.com/inthosegenespo…
Thank you so much @VUMC_MD for the feature article. My time at @VUMCgenetics with @CaturDNA truly shaped my career in genetics!
