The older I get, the more I think PLINK is the greatest software ever made

Had a really wonderful time at the @CNGGcardiff Home Day @cardiffuni yesterday. Huge thanks to @dbkappel, Ceri, Becs, Guida, Julia, Cat + everyone involved in making it happen. As one of the relative newbies in the team, it was fantastic to be able to put faces to names + chat.

A sunny evening celebrating my FHEA teaching qualification with colleagues @dbkappel from @CNGGcardiff Thanks @LTAcademyCU for your support and for organising a fun event 👨‍🎓

Our commander-in-chief @drjameswalters giving the opening speech at the @CNGGcardiff #CNGGlaunch absolutely amazing being part of this centre and its journey in helping individuals living with psychiatric disorders through the power of research

Open science does not open the science for all. APC are ludicrous for anyone in a LMIC, sometimes up to a yearly salary. Here Brazilian authors had their paper withdrawn because they couldn't pay Wiley's fee.

[Luiz-Eduardo Del-Bem @dudelbem]

Muito muito muito triste me deparar com isso. Autores brasileiros, último autor excelente cientista da UFMG, acabaram tendo paper já publicado na Evolutionary Applications removido por não conseguirem pagar o APC da revista, que é atualmente 3740 dólares, quase 20 mil reais.

The more I read recommendation letters, the less I want to rely on them.

Many people will disagree with me. But I will still say that:

📢So incredibly proud of this study on clozapine metabolism highlighting ancestral differences and #Pharmacogenomics findings. See 🧵by @AFPopgen linking our press release, official Lancet Psychiatry paper and a tweetorial #AcademicTwitter

[Antonio F. Pardiñas @AFPopgen]

We've written a piece (us and the Comms team @CNGGcardiff) on our latest clozapine study about ancestral differences and pharmacogenomics discovery: https://t.co/Ie21kALRd2

A Valentines Day reminder that over 90,000 staff in the HE sector are on precarious and insecure contacts.

This is why we strike.

Vote. Strike. Win.

Another day, another picket. Heading to @cardiffuni main gate to hear testimonies from striking staff #UCUstrike #ucuRISING @CardiffUCU

Preemptive pharmacogenomic #PGx testing on a 12-gene panel resulted in a 30% reduction of clinically relevant adverse reactions #ADRs. Results from the #PREPARE randomized study in 7000 patients across Europe: https://t.co/D9916xoOoE

Richarlison is a treasure, not only a great football player but also deeply involved with supporting science and its impact on society

How good is Richarlison for this Brazil side?! 😲

Had a great time at #CIUK2022, now a quick stop at Alan Turing's Memorial before heading back to Cardiff

[Djenifer Kappel 🧬(she/her) 🇧🇷 @dbkappel]

This talk couldn't come in a better time, using all these great tips to prepare a lecture for a non-genomics audience.

[Djenifer Kappel 🧬(she/her) 🇧🇷 @dbkappel]

Amazing talk! Thanks @LS_Hall and @EmmaYhnell
