@Evol_mtg: Could our societies consider keeping the option to upload pre-recorded talks, even for fully in-person meetings? I found it a great way to improve speaker reach and audience accessibility.

To the in-person speakers who uploaded talks: Thanks for giving me the opportunity to learn about your science as a virtual attendee! 11/11

The data on grading strategies that @CassandraPaul shared last week for SJSU’s College of Science seminar were stunning. If you're interested in equitable grading, I highly recommend her talk! https://t.co/tCWQDU7uKG

When do adaptive or other mutations contribute to speciation? Microbial evolution offers controlled ways to study this question. Burch lab graduate student @JDeCurzio and I summarize Wang and Cooper’s investigation in a Digest for @journal_evo: https://t.co/DplYc0MHEf.

Listening to @big_data_kane’s talk today on protein space and epistasis was just as stimulating as when I was an undergraduate and he first introduced me to adaptive landscapes and genome/environment interactions. #TAGC20

@kstsosie also reminded us that we academics can be novice learners in other situations, including tribal regulatory processes for research. #TAGC20

[Sonia Singhal @ssinghal956]

@kstsosie stressed the importance of communal (rather than individual) consent in genetic research with indigenous tribes – an issue that enfolds respect for cultural norms, tribal sovereignty, and data privacy. #TAGC20

@SueMcclatchy @_sbay @GeneticsGSA @NativeBio Very pertinent to my #TAGC20 talk today on disparities related to structural barriers to health. Because stressing frequent hand-washing to prevent #COVID spread is made difficult when there are water scarcity issues. Ahéhée' @Rene_Begay for the link: https://t.co/kjeJJThbGJ
