1/ Human genetics has traditionally been framed and studied using approaches that assume discrete, unchanging clusters such as continental groups🗺️. But what if this oversimplifies complex genetic relationships and co-produces racial frameworks?🤔

the United guy getting it has unlocked a lot of rage about the healthcare system - a lot of rage that could be captured by a political party, but to them, that guy was a colleague
This is horrifying news and a terrible loss for the business and health care community in Minnesota. Minnesota is sending our prayers to Brian’s family and the UnitedHealthcare team.

Hello! In the overwhelm of my life of late, I have left finding roommates for the #SICB conference in Atlanta to the last minute. If you know of anyone else still looking, please let me know! (retweets appreciated!)

Super proud of my 2nd PhD paper exploring shifts in evo. integration among reef fish fins with expansions in locomotor modes, out now in Evolution. Within modes there is much diversity in fin shape and weak connections between form and function. doi.org/10.1093/evolut/qpae1…

The moment a Jew voices even the most banal, meaningless platitude towards an end to Palestinian suffering, they are immediately only “nominally Jewish.”
Ossoff thinks he can thread this needle because he’s nominally Jewish. I look forward to helping prove him wrong.

The reason why “academia is a hotbed of leftist indoctrination” discourse is annoying is that universities are deeply conservative enterprises in a host of ways that are painfully obvious if you simply stop shrieking about the English department for two seconds and pay attention.

My entire team wrote an opinion paper about Common misconceptions of speciation research. Each section is written by 1-2 team members. The bulk of the writing happened during two writing retreats. It was a lot of fun and I am very happy with the result. academic.oup.com/evolinnean/…
