Anyone interested in a postdoc bridging concepts from popgen to complex traits to health care let me know!

@adp_diaz @LukeAnderTroc @SFGravel @PLOSGenetics Awesome work!!! So cool. Congrats!

Please RT - our session on Latin American history and cancer epidemiology with Luis Carvajal and Mariana Stern is NOW in room 313b #2019SACNAS - the printed agenda was not correct. Join us now! #personalizedmedicineforall

Puerto Ricans are among the most affected by #asthma in the world but there's little research. Our PRIMERO study is among the largest of its kind for a minority population, and we need your help. Please RT! #PuertoRicanStudy #2019SACNAS 1/3

A very important read.

@_klkeys_ @Linda_Kachuri @MelindaAldrich Not to diminish the issue of portability across populations of course...I still argue this is the biggest issue facing Personalized Medicine in 2019.

[Chris Gignoux @popgenepi]

@_klkeys_ @Linda_Kachuri @MelindaAldrich I think that speaks to how, at worst, any realistic option to return results wouldn’t be in situations where all you can say is a 10% increased risk. I guess when does it become actionable then? An OR >5? A leading question...

[Chris Gignoux @popgenepi]

Come be our colleague!

[Larry Hunter @ProfLHunter]

Ready for a bioinformatics / comp bio / biomedical data science faculty position? Like great colleagues and an unbeatable location? @CUAnschutz is hiring!

@genandgenes @GENES_PK @johnwitte The whole session should help contribute to this discussion, both the challenges and a few glimpses into where to go...Should be a fun one!

[Genevieve Wojcik, PhD MHS @genandgenes]

@GENES_PK @johnwitte If you are interested, @popgenepi and I are giving talks Friday AM at #ASHG19 looking further at how admixture and complex ancestry influence replication in PAGE. And then what happens when you compound these issues in polygenic risk scores. (Spoiler alert, it's not good.)

Thanks for coming!

Wrapping up a great few days @CUAnschutz #diversebiomed discussing the future of diversifying genomics. Some things I am thinking about...how can we:
Decolonize Science
Bring together voices from different communities
Diversify the workforce
Broaden the benefits of our work

[Chris Gignoux @popgenepi]

KC: movements to build capacity moving beyond past research to future genomics projects. The SING training model is now global: Canada, NZ/Aotearoa, future programs in Mexico and Australia.
