Trying to apply for a Re-entry supplement for someone. To get it, he cannot be hired before the supplement is submitted and he must have a eRA commons ID through USC. USC cannot give him an ID until he is hired. I don't understand how this is supposed to work...

X-Wing (led by @Jiacheng_Miao @hmguo95) is published @NatureComms. This is our approach for improving PRS performance across ancestral populations. We've updated statistical justifications throughout but key method remains unchanged #AcademicValentines https://t.co/uO4NyEqhbz

A real pleasure to have a double-feature of presentations today from @AltenSjoerd and @PerlineDemange before they head back to Europe.
Sorry for the sub-zero temps, but we provided a warm welcome. Excellent research!
