Very excited to have the second paper of my PhD out today! Our study benchmarks the computational resource usage of simulation workflows of non-standard forms of natural selection, using fluctuating selection as an example. https://t.co/ElCXomEVd9

I am immensely proud to have taken part in this podcast about our family experience of living with a rare disease, being on a clinical trial and all the support and challenges along the way.

@DNATimeTravel @UniofAdelaide @UofA_SET @ACAD_Research_ Congratulations 👏!

@LlewellynGreen Was the case for my outer, outer suburban high school (WPSC). Also chemistry and physics.

[Olivia Johnson @OliviaL_Johnson]

Can officially cross ‘article featured on journal cover’ off my list of goals 🗒️

@jgschraiber Interesting poll (and results). Not sure of my own answer because surely utility is contextual, and in clinical settings is often broader than binary prediction: triage, indications for earlier/more aggressive treatment vs complications, frequency of followup screening etc.

Just got a submission for the headline - ‘Ben Roberts-Smith Offered Partnership By PwC’ but then remembered that actually fucking happened

We're looking for a bioinformatician / computational biologist to join our international consortium working on SARS-COV-2 variants of concern using cohort studies (https://t.co/pgcPnXRrb2). The post is based at UCL under the direct supervision of @LucyvanDorp and myself.

Our study about S. aureus evolution on patients with atopic dermatitis is out! Check out a thread about all highlights by my awesome PI @conTaminatedsci back at @MIT. Shout out to @teresadefresa for enrolling patients, for @vedomics functional work, and the entire team. 🍾

[Josh Schmidt @josh_schmidt1]

Also suggests large file drawer effects in some aDNA topics. 2016-ish was when I first heard of a negative result on this exact q.

Fantastic investigative work by @mathiesoniain et al, providing strong evidence against claims
(https://t.co/nQg1K3TiSv) that specific immune gene variants were under very strong natural selection during the black death.

Very pleased for @OliviaL_Johnson that her review on fluctuating selection is published. A great distillation of an exciting field, in which she will make excellent contributions too. Stay tuned!

[Olivia Johnson @OliviaL_Johnson]

Very excited to share that our review paper, 'fluctuating selection and the determinants of genetic variation', is out today in @TrendsGenetics! https://t.co/l9uiJz2XDw

[Christian D. Huber @christiandhuber]

Check out our review of the evidence and models for multilocus fluctuating selection. A big congratulations to the first author, Olivia Johnson, for her outstanding work!

@BallouxFrancois @ajlamesa @bryanrwalsh @BallouxFrancois That data clearly showed CFR ~ age. I get the point, but not sure 0.2% is 'negligible'. Thankfully it turned out to be inaccurate by 3-4 orders of magnitude.

[Shai Carmi @ShaiCarmi]

Our paper on the DNA of medieval Ashkenazi Jews is now published!

Congrats to all co-authors and thanks reviewers/editors!

We analyzed 33 genomes from a 14th-century Jewish cemetery in Erfurt, Germany.

See thread for key additions since the preprint.

@ShaiCarmi Thanks @ShaiCarmi. I grabbed a table of EU member state population sizes and only added UK because of post-brexit issues. Israel definitely most noticeable because of exceptional per capita performance, but for example, US and CN also not presented.
