Sharing this in case it's useful: I find that students often have a hard time conceptualizing quantitative parameters in genomics and popgen
Here's a cheat-sheet I put together for teaching. It's also part of a textbook I have been writing on human genetics (more on that below)
I am incredibly excited to share our preprint ‘Somatic mutation rates scale with lifespan across mammals’In this paper we provide an unprecedented description of somatic mutation across mammals.

Pues he escrito un libro sobre filosofía de la ciencia: "El oficio de la duda".
Ha sido un esfuerzo de años, pero quería entender cuáles son las fortalezas y las debilidades del proceso científico y ahora lo comparto con vosotros.
Si os apetece leerlo: https://t.co/mnc3V5qUjo
Cuando empiezo una asignatura de genética más o menos avanzada me gusta poner a los alumnos un test para que hagan una autoevaluación de sus conocimientos. Os lo comparto por si tenéis curiosidad o por si queréis pasárselo a vuestros alumnos.

I've buried different drafts of this post for almost 2 years because the fear surrounding "publicly not knowing" is so messy and complicated, but it's also something I want to talk openly about more with my students.

This @exxonmobile chart from 1982 predicted that in 2019 our atmospheric CO2 level would reach about 415 parts per million, raising the global temperature roughly 0.9 degrees C.
Update: The world crossed the 415 ppm threshold this week and broke 0.9 degrees C in 2017 1/
a collaboration of #OpenCB, #MGviz and @GenomicsEngland. Thanks @dapregi for your great work!. Nice to see former students keep growing like this. https://t.co/KtHYhW23e8
Delighted to announce that today we've reached our #Genomes100k milestone – we've hit 100,000! 🎉 We want to give a very public #100KThankYous to all the individuals and organisations involved as we look ahead to taking #genomic medicine mainstream https://t.co/rB6Rd71ZRh
