"Thank you" doesn't begin to show my gratitude for the millions of people who shared their information with research institutions across the country, and for the leadership team of @covid19_hgi . 1/3

[COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative @covid19_hgi]

Leveraging data from ~50,000 COVID-19 patients & 2 million uninfected controls, we report 13 loci associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 disease.
Some loci associate with the likelihood of getting infected & a distinct set of loci associate with disease progression.

Let me know what you think!

Hello #ASHG2024! This year I'm trying something new - note taking with @NotionHQ.

I set up a template here, if you'd like to duplicate in your workspace: https://t.co/3nVylppxKW

(Template is pending in the Notion Store)

[Laura @LauraGailS]

As a bonus, NotionAI may be able to summarize meeting notes at the end of the conference.

Hi everyone! If you're free and want to write letters *with* cast members from @HamiltonMusical on behalf of @KamalaHarris come sign up!

@adapkepinska I hear you there. Now that I'm growing my hair back, the tangles are starting again🤷‍♀️

[Laura @LauraGailS]

@adapkepinska That's great! The aura is my favorite mask, and not just because we're 4/5 identical by name.

[Laura @LauraGailS]

@adapkepinska Happy to give you extra N95s!

Normally I love an all-caps message, but not this time. We can't lose Sunday, too!

#NOCUTSTOLIBRARIES

[NY Public Library @nypl]

SO BASICALLY PUBLIC LIBRARIES ARE JUST 0.4% OF THE NEW YORK CITY BUDGET, BUT THE MAYOR IS TRYING TO CUT THE LIBRARY'S BUDGET WAY BACK. I’M TALKING $58.3 MILLION! LIBRARIES ARE ALREADY CLOSED ON SUNDAYS BECAUSE OF PREVIOUS CUTS AND MOST BRANCHES WILL BE OPEN FOR JUST FIVE DAYS A WEEK IF THESE CUTS GO THROUGH!! WE ONLY HAVE UNTIL THE END OF JUNE TO TELL @NYCMAYOR #NOCUTSTOLIBRARIES AND SAVE THE LIBRARY.

Next up in my week of thanks to the teams that make gnomAD: the gnomAD browser team!

With 150k+ views a week, the browser is a crucial part of making gnomAD accessible. Quickly loading data from >800k samples + presenting it in a user-friendly format is no small feat.

Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment. Today's announcement is deeply saddening for us. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country. @roryekennedy @joekennedy @KKT_Kennedy

[Laura @LauraGailS]

@adapkepinska I can understand that - one step/day at a time :)

[Laura @LauraGailS]

@adapkepinska If it's not, it will be soon.

Have fun! I'm already having FOMO.

I'm delighted to release the first half of my new open-access online textbook in human population genetics:
