Turnout in Virginia up from ~800K in 2016 to ~1.3M this year. It doesn't seem great for Sanders's electability narrative that turnout seems to be increasing more in states where he isn't doing as well.

@timothyjhohman Congrats!!

Please do retweet the original blog post https://t.co/nqHklWhuzC - we'd like as broad as possible audience to read this and absorb it.

Our latest paper reporting MS4A4A as a major regulator of TREM2 and a protective variant for #Alzheimers made in into the from page of Science Translational Medicine https://t.co/VpqLUWKlZe @karchlab @demingy @B_A_Benitez @omharari

My lab is hiring postdocs in statistical genetics. Some specific topics are highlighted below. If you are attending #JSM2019 this week, I'm happy to discuss details in person. Please RT!

Exciting updates from @FRajabli at #AAIC19 were made possible by the efforts of a large team of researchers who study #Alzheimers among African Americans at @umiamimedicine, @Columbia, @WakeForest, and @cwru

[Alzheimer's Association, Southeast Florida @alzsefl]

The wealth of information about the latest Alzheimer's research being shared at #AAIC19 is one reason why @Tony_Griswold attends. A geneticist from @HIHGatUM, his research focuses on the genetics of under-represented populations to develop precision medicine therapies. #ENDALZ

[John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics @HIHGatUM]

Many thanks to the @alzassociation for organizing #AAIC19. It was a wonderful conference, and we enjoyed it immensely. Goodbye LA. We'll speak with our #Alzheimers colleagues soon. #EndAlz

[Alzheimer's Association, Southeast Florida @alzsefl]

.@Brian_Kunkle says #AAIC19 let’s him explore new ideas with fellow scientists so that we move "forward to finding better treatments and preventions of the disease." Kunkle’s initial research identified sex-specific genes for Alzheimer’s. #ENDALZ #PrecisionMedicine @HIHGatUM

[Alzheimer's Association, Southeast Florida @alzsefl]

So great to meet with Melissa Jean-Francois yesterday
of @HIHGatUM and discuss her poster at #AAIC19!

[John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics @HIHGatUM]

It is clear that #Alzheimers works differently in men and women. This can be due to genetic differences, as @Brian_Kunkle's research shows or lifestyle factors. To achieve #PrecisionMedicine, we need to further explore these sex differences. #AAIC19 #ENDALZ

[John P. Hussman Institute for Human Genomics @HIHGatUM]

The BBC covered @Brian_Kunkle's research presented at #AAIC19 on sex-specific genes that contribute to #Alzheimers

Grabbed a quick photo of our #Alzheimers team before heading off to check out the "Basic and Translational Science" posters on #genetics at #AAIC19

Proud to rep America’s best team! Congrats @USWNT and thanks for being such a strong inspiration for women and girls—and everybody—all across the country.
