Crazy that these eugenicists apparently know the exact causal variants and genes for IQ but won't share these *definitely* rigorously tested results with the rest of us

@RachelPerryLab1 @dumebiike congratulations!! 🎉

[Rachel Perry @RachelPerryLab1]

Congratulations Dr. Akingbesote @dumebiike. It’s been a privilege and a pleasure to be her PhD mentor!

i think i finally got two of my most challenging experiments to work!! i still feel like the orchestra on the Titanic rn though lol

to be honest, i don't think we need vivariums either. let's train cats to catch mice in the wild and every study will be a diversity-outbred. undergrads will now be in charge of hunting and gathering for their food.

[yonathan tamrat aberra @yonathanaberra]

can't wait to do all of my research without the lights on. cell culture is best done in the great outdoors 🥰

[Chuck Grassley @ChuckGrassley]

just read in WSJ the Univ of Cali, San Fran, received $815M from natl Institute of health, making it 1 of the largest recipients in USA The school keeps abt 40% for admin cost I can’t believe only 60% of that fed $$ r actually used for research on health issues that’s outrageous!

@Sput__Nik people say life is all about making bands but my westerns beg to differ 😤 💯

rely on us considering diversity in every marginalized group affected by these anti-diversity policies. We risk being unable to develop drugs and the long-term death of uncountable people with these policies– and not just in the "out" groups.

PCSK9 inhibitors are one of the greatest success stories in human genetics. Their discovery was enabled by sequencing the genomes of African Americans in Texas.

[yonathan tamrat aberra @yonathanaberra]

Human genetics only really works when we consider the vast diversity and population histories of people all over the world. The discoveries underlying the next miracle drugs to treat cancers, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and all other major causes of death
