Lecturer and researcher focusing on quantitative genetics and animal breeding @ Wageningen University & Research

Last year I started a blog for students that are working on their thesis (undergrad, grad, or postgraduate). And anything else I feel like writing about... Go check it out and let me know what you think :)

The Animal Breeding and Genetics course of @WUR will start next week. 📖 I created a new tool for this course: Multi-trait Selection Index. If you have any cool ideas or suggestions, let me know!💡 #wur_abg

@brunoCPrz Thanks Bruno! In plan to add additional elements later to visualize things even better.

For teaching purposes, I have created two R Shiny apps to replace Excel Tools: 1) Estimating breeding values using BLUP, 2) Single trait selection index. I really enjoyed making these apps. Let me know what you think! #wur_abg

#wur_abg strategic day with all of us. Topics of 100 PhD thesis over the past 7 years. Nice divers contribution to many relevant topics!

"We need to move away from simple but false dichotomies, as if we have to choose we have to be on one side or the other." Great talk from @KenGiller at the opening of the academic year of @WUR

My J-factor paper was published in GSE! A big thanks to @mariocalus, @jeremievdp, @pascalduenk2 #wur_abg

Validation with single-step SNPBLUP shows that evaluations can continue using a single mean of genotyped individuals, even with multiple breeds.

New blogpost! How to write a thesis #abstract.

@BullCrys You're the best! 😊

[Pascal Duenk @pascalduenk2]

Our latest article shows that you can predict the impact of genotype by genotype interactions on the purebred-crossbred genetic correlation, without using crossbred data. Check it out here:

@HickeyJohn @IBreider @JoNewton89 @wcgalp2022 @jenniepryce @NDuijvesteijn The Culture Map was a real eye opener for me!

[Pascal Duenk @pascalduenk2]

@mrtnj Thanks Martin! But I'm sure you weren't too intimidated by the equations;)

[Gareth Difford 🇳🇴🇿🇦🇬🇧 @DiffordGareth]

A very impressive talk by @pascalduenk2 giving us robust methods to predict Rpc using only purebred genotypes & phenotypes! 🔮🧙‍♂️👏 @WURlivestock @Breed4Food

[Pascal Duenk @pascalduenk2]

On March 16, the @Alliantie_ewuu will start with the 'Dutch Dairy Student Challenge (DDSC)', a challenge based course for students that want to contribute to the dairy industry of tomorrow! Click the link and watch the video for more information.
