@RogersHelps My internet has been down for hours. Can someone please troubleshoot? I am tethering from my phone.

@Rukmini16984665 Hi Rukmini Sen. You were recommended to me by Sujan Dutta via my friend Vinita Srivastava. I'm a Canadian researcher who needs an Indian collaborator. Can you get in touch with me? Julia Creet

[Severance Magazine @Severancemag]

There's an interesting new essay up on Severance by @Solidgoldmacher on a question we haven't covered before—what obligation do we have to the people with whom we share DNA?

Is Your DNA Data Safe in Blackstone’s Hands? @neodotlife https://t.co/YZfV77AMGZ This story should make us all think twice about giving away our DNA.

@deAdder What a lovely tribute Michael. My condolences.

Looking forward to #25siblingsandme 9pm @BBCTwo. Lovely young man with #aspergers finds he has 25 siblings from the same sperm donor. Increasingly common with consumer DNA testing. Interested to see how many of his half-siblings are on the #ASD #spectrum...https://t.co/o6wvKOvZf2

[Debbie Kennett 🧬🌳 @DebbieKennett]

There's been a major privacy breach at GEDmatch. It appears that all kits, regardless of user preferences, have been opted in to law enforcement matching. I've messaged Verogen on Facebook to alert them to the problem. The site now seems to be down completely. #geneticgenealogy

[Julia Creet @creet5]

Thanks for this Debbie.

A presentation summarising a recent study into the views of Canadian users of direct-to-consumer genetic testing on how their data is being used. Few read the terms and conditions. https://t.co/lNatB4sMc8 Full paper here (£): https://t.co/PQNLLbwpYg

Congratulations Jennifer! I have a PhD student who would really benefit from being involved in this project in some way.

Let's hope you are prescient @AllanIshacNYC
