IGSS

Integrating Genetics and the Social Sciences (IGSS) Conference

[IGSS @IGSSConference]

Thanks so much to all the participants of our 2019 conference! We had a record turnout and it was great to see both the new and familiar faces.

@GraceFinniFox Wrapping up a great session focused on determinants of epigenetic age at IGSS 2022. She and @laurenlschmitz use @hrsisr to link the Great Recession with epigenetic clocks
@UWSoc @uwcdha

[Jenn Dowd @drjenndowd]

.@jasondboardman slays as usual, laying down the challenge to ditch “European ancestry only” analyses at @IGSSConference. Differences in predictive ability of PGS by race/ethnicity “screams social.” 👏👏 #IGSS2022

[IGSS @IGSSConference]

Thrilled to welcome @drjenndowd as our keynote speaker to close out day 1 at IGSS this year. The Human microbiome as new focus in social genomics

[IGSS @IGSSConference]

Great way to start the day at IGSS2022--Applied Microbiome Analyses workshop with @JTFouquier

[Jenn Dowd @drjenndowd]

@OxfordDemSci @IGSSConference It's so hard to get me to accept talk invites in Boulder! ;)
Looking forward to seeing everyone at #IGSS2022 @jasonmfletcher @jasondboardman @IGSSConference

[IGSS @IGSSConference]

@jasondboardman and @jasonmfletcher are looking forward to welcoming everyone to Boulder for IGSS 2022 next week. We have a great schedule

Extremely excited to see my (first first-author) paper now out @PNASNews! We develop a novel framework named QUAIL that uses quantile regression to identify SNPs associated with phenotypic variability (vQTL). Work is supervised by @Q_StatGen.

Back door to a dead end, a review of @kph3k’s book, The Genetic Lottery:
https://t.co/x34Os9Otpa
I reformulate my tweets from last fall, that the book misrepresents the type and strength of evidence. I also outline my own views of some next steps for social science genetics.
