I am amazed! We asked @UCSF faculty a question: Would you hire a post-bacc scholar with diverse background interested in graduate school for 1-2yrs to give them the research experience they need to be competitive? 91 faculty stepped up. Now its your turn: https://t.co/BDYkhxUm5j

Proud of excellent work by Dr Kristina Gaietto, one of our stellar #PedsPulm fellows: "#Asthma as risk factor for #hospitalization in children with #COVID19", now published at Pediatric Allergy and Immunology @tkazmers @PittPediatrics @ChildrensPgh

I am super happy to share our latest foray into the genetic architecture of complex traits! This was a project headed by Kevin-I-can't-believe-you-are-still-not-on-Twitter-Hartman, Sara Rashkin, and @johnwitte, and was a VERY long time in the making!

[Dr. Krystal Tsosie, PhD, MPH @kstsosie]

Finally, as fellow #Indigenous #genome scientist @YrachetaJM reminds, "White ppl have a horse in all the races, own the racetrack and the betting facility". It's time we as scientists from underrepresented groups are empowered to speak on #research on or about us. 5/5

Stoked that our paper showing how important rare variants are for the genetic architecture of gene expression is out today with a few other fabulous papers in @NatureGenet! https://t.co/CSWLQXtV1O

I am beyond excited to finally share our latest with the world: The genetic interaction between HIV and the antibody repertoire. This has been a great collaboration that was conceived, initiated, and lead by (now Dr.) @nbstrauli.

Happy to use my inaugural tweet to present my work on “The genetic interaction between HIV and the antibody repertoire” https://t.co/TxqVCRRUgf . We worked quite hard on this. Let me know what you think! @rdhernand @PillaiLab @pleunipennings @ShelleyFacente

@sarah_stern @ClementYChow The evenflo AMP highback booster is my favourite lightweight seat for a petite 5 year old; it’s worth having the back. Might work for you!
