Thanks for all the new follows 😊

I was joking of course, there is no true heritability... Here is an animation showing that the heritability of education, as estimated in twins, depends on ever changing cultural circumstances and group membership 🤷🏾‍♂️

[Ananda Amstadter, PhD @DrAmstadter]

Wonderful talk given by @genetisaur today at the ASHG webinar on diversity and genetics. She brilliantly highlights not only the problems but also the opportunities and roadmap for solutions. Spoiler alert: mentorship of the next generation of diverse scientists! 🧵
