Spending a fantastic few days at #IADR2019! Vancouver wins for best view from the convention center.

[Denise Liberton @denise_lib]

I guess three papers in a row only needing minor revisions was too much to hope for. I'll start working through the five pages of reviewer comments tomorrow.

Nothing like when your team solves its last major coding issue 10 minutes before the final presentation. #ncbihackathon #rstats

New preprint!

[arXiv Daily @Arxiv_Daily]

This one is a must read - the latest #PatternRecognition #ComputerVision #Learning #MachineLearning research by @ulasbagci https://t.co/Ak19tfqvep

Ancient admixture!

[nature @Nature]

Genetic analysis reveals that a woman who died 90,000 years ago was half Neanderthal and half Denisovan. https://t.co/bzK3AVrsM3

Function factories chapter of adv-R is now complete: https://t.co/ZKNNPDXX5T. Learn how to make functions that make functions 😱 (and why you might care with new ggplot2 examples) #rstats

Google is working to help preserve archaeological wonders by allowing users access to 3D images through its site.

But some critics are calling it a form of "digital colonialism." https://t.co/D2VsTotRom

One kid asked if someone died so I could have their skull. Thankfully, this model is only plastic!

[Denise Liberton @denise_lib]

Ordered the largest coffee AND a chocolate croissant this morning. I'm almost prepared for the next few hours talking about skulls and teeth for #TakeYourChildToWorkDay.

I wish I was heading to #AAPA2018! Sad to be missing out but looking forward to living vicariously through everyone's updates.

Anthropologist Grover Krantz loved to teach & loved his pets. He decided that when he died he would donate his body to a scientific research collection—as long as his dog Clyde could stay with him. What better way to honor the love between man & man's best friend? #NationalPetDay

[Denise Liberton @denise_lib]

@frau_fish @chickonsticks Tiberius and I would be happy to show you around!

[Denise Liberton @denise_lib]

@chickonsticks @frau_fish Maybe ASHG and craniofacial genetics in the fall? You? Although I definitely wouldn't say no to a DC visit...

[Denise Liberton @denise_lib]

So excited for this! https://t.co/izoW7QtvtU

[Denise Liberton @denise_lib]

@chickonsticks @frau_fish Same! Looking forward to it!

@DentalResearch All flights out of DC are cancelled due to snow and I can't get rebooked in time to give my talk tomorrow. Who should I contact to let them know I won't be able to give my oral presentation?
