I talk about our work with @ecgberg, @girlscientist and @jkpritch with @GeneticsSociety in this blog. It’s been so fun to see it come out and to think about the long history of the project and its future!

@JessicaRibado I feel partially responsible for this...

We've just crossed the 300 question mark for #ASHG18! Participating in this data collection makes it possible to study trends in multiple rooms and multiple fields at the same time. Join in at https://t.co/5WZbVtE5kt ��📈📉😍

[Natalie Telis @NatalieTelis]

Why are we still collecting data at #ASHG18? science is never done 😉 For example, this year, the numbers of presenters grew from Orlando to SD... BUT the *proportion* of women presenters went down. Curious? Join in the science!! ➡️ record questions at https://t.co/5WZbVtE5kt

@AlexDainis My working title for at least a month was 'Things and Stuff and Stuff and Things' and my introduction still reads 'So I did some science.'

[Emily Glassberg @ecgberg]

Many thanks to @arbelharpak, Xun Lan (is Xun on Twitter???), and @jkpritch for being our co-conspirators in this work. You guys rule.

Our paper measuring constraint on human gene expression is up on @biorxivpreprint!!! @ziyue_gao https://t.co/Rn2siMC6E2

[Emily Glassberg @ecgberg]

In particular, our ASE-model allows us to estimate that singletons have ~2.5X greater effects on expression variance than common variants and explain ~5% of the heritability of expression.

@GReales7 Such goodwill! Such conversation! Such coffee!!!

[Emily Glassberg @ecgberg]

@GReales7 It is!!! And speaking of BoG, you should check out the blog post I wrote - you might like the pic we chose ;)

I wrote a thing about #BoG18! Love that the @GeneticsSociety blog does conference recaps, and that I had a chance to re-live an amazing meeting while writing one https://t.co/4yMjJiUJ42

If you’re located in the Bay Area like we are, you were probably concerned about the quality of the air you were breathing during the North Bay fires in October. Learn more about the state of air quality monitoring and notification here: https://t.co/V45GTXM21z

@NatalieTelis @ALISSAsevskies So pumped to finally have earned our "practicing population geneticist" cards in the form of Marc mugs!!!

[Emily Glassberg @ecgberg]

@NatalieTelis @ScienceCareers @orchiddelirium @jradavenport Love the growing community of researchers quantifying diversity in our own fields. @NatalieTelis and I are excited to be a part of it!

[Emily Glassberg @ecgberg]

What a fab #ASHG17!!! Leaving Orlando with lots of ideas and a LONG reading list. Thanks all for sharing great work. Can't wait for #ASHG18.

[Natalie Telis @NatalieTelis]

Cause: starting last sess w almost 1000 qs worth of #ASHGdata. Effect: @ecgberg and me, happy collaborators at the end of a great #ASHG17!!

.@david_a_knowles debuting grasshopper. Powerful explanatory method, ex: identifying causal splice site difference between 🐁&👶 #ashg17

Inspired by @natalietelis #ASHG17 plenary to ask questions? Share your successes using #nataliefailstoreplicate & change the narrative!

[Emily Glassberg @ecgberg]

Thanks to everyone who stopped by for questions, ideas, and enthusiasm! Keep them (and this year's data) coming!! #ASHG17 #ASHGdata
