Our paper on #dogs from #Jamestown is finally out today! Thank you to my amazing coauthors, especially Jamestown Rediscovery, for helping me tell the story of these dogs and the people associated with them.

Can genomic analysis actually estimate past population size?

"It's an interesting biotech exercise, but behavior, ecology, and learned social traits matter just as much as DNA, and those can't simply be engineered."

We have to stand up for science! Anyone who can join these rallies and believes that US science must be protected should come!

[Ariane Thomas @ArianeEThomas]

The US needs to decide how tax dollars should be spent. Firing NIH staff may lower the science budget but at the cost of losing qualified scientists working on developing treatments for rare diseases, #cancer, #Alzheimer’s, #HIV, and more. https://t.co/xCrrnl8X5O

The private sector prioritizes research that makes money. But there are people with rare diseases that are costly for companies. NIH helps those and more - see what #NIH has funded by typing in any disease or condition in the filter research box: https://t.co/ykXtsucagL

@KatieMSandlin Can someone list the accomplishments we are abandoning and why they can’t be done in the private sector?

[Katie Sandlin @KatieMSandlin]

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭

It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health.

I've started a 'tech for good' incubator, boisei labs, that focuses on social good & green tech-based impact: https://t.co/8kcg5XBTUi

I remain a Professor at Penn State; this is an approved outside professional activity.

And we're hiring 1-2 software engineers (see website!).

Two new chapters from my free online book in human genetics out this weekend!

These complete Part 3 of the book, on human population structure and history:
3.3: Inferring human prehistory from genetic data [this thread]
3.4: Ancient DNA [next thread]

@adeflamingh I did! I am happy it is out and I’m grateful that you were apart of this project and helped make it happen!
