New preprint out: Effects of introgressed Neanderthal alleles on present-day brain morphology! 🧬🧠 using 370 phenotypes derived from ~40k brain MRIs we found a textbook neanderthal-mediated GWAS hit at DAAM1, Neanderthal burden associations and more https://t.co/XbGKR5ptnG

I make no apology for posting this photo. I think it’s a photo that will haunt America in the years to come.

This is what you have become. If you defend this, have a word with yourself.

Hello everyone.

A friend told me that I shouldn't post this message because it made me and other PhD students look bad. But I actually think it's important to show how PhD students (especially foreign ones) have to deal not only with research-related difficulties, but also with many other challenges.

I am in the process of resuming my PhD studies at UCL in London after an extended period of medical leave. Unfortunately, I have been informed that I must re-apply for a visa (£524) and pay the health surcharge again (£776 per year). For a two-year application, this amounts to a total of £2,076.

Although it may not seem like a huge amount, I don't have that kind of money, especially since it's on top of other expenses related to my return to London, such as plane tickets, the deposit for the apartment, and my rent (as a foreign student, I'm usually asked to pay the first 3 to 6 months in advance).

I have been told that EPSRC/UKRI (the main funding body in the UK) does not cover any visa or immigration costs, even if you are on health-related leave.

I am therefore asking people for their support. I would be very grateful for any help, especially as I am currently considering whether or not I can actually resume my PhD.

Your genomics analysis is only as good as your reference.
Use the wrong genome build, and you’ll misplace peaks, CpG sites, and genes. Here's why that matters 🧵

For a PhD student, choosing a good lab is 10 times more important than choosing a particular topic to study

Great week indeed! many inspiring talks and posters (including Roberta's thesis project!) and an awesome location!
