It’s that time of year again!! UCLA G&G home area recruitment!

Starting the event off with a welcome dinner+drinks/poster session with current graduate students. We had a great turnout of labs & PIs from the home area, thanks everyone for coming!

This guide to creating and executing presentations by @ruthie_johnson is going to be my checklist for every pres I give. I will definitely be giving this to my mentee as well. Check it out!

[Kirk Lohmueller @lohmueller]

Check out our latest! Congrats to @Jazlyn_Mooney & @random_hike for leading this work! We find that there is no one genetic signature of a population isolate. The specific demography matters.

First paper ✔
The learning curve was steep and I am very proud that this is out there. Thanks @lohmueller and @random_hike for all the help along the way! Click 👇🏽 to learn about how demography affects patterns of genomic diversity in population isolates

PhD student @malikafreund at #ASHG with her manuscript out this month in @AJHGNews ! Go Malika!

[Cell Press @CellPressNews]

Love having authors at Cell Press booth 1129! Read her paper in the latest issue of AJHG! @AJHGNews #ASHG18 https://t.co/bqsCy9XH6K

[Chris Robles, PhD 💀🧬 @ChrisOmics]

If you're at #SACNAS2018, come see my talk about #Neanderthal DNA and how it affects modern human traits! Room 221C at 2pm. @uclagenetics

[Valerie Arboleda MD, PhD 🤷🏻‍♀️ @ArboledaVal]

Check out our paper on 'Phenotype-specific enrichment of Mendelian disorder genes near GWAS regions across 62 complex traits'! Congrats @malikafreund ! @ksburch_ @bpasaniuc @KristinaGarske @shihuwenbo @nmancuso_ @uclagenetics #UCLA https://t.co/pPW5JuqRE5

[Jazlyn Mooney, PhD @Jazlyn_Mooney]

Flyers are up for our first seminar of the quarter! Excited to be hosting @HennLab, she talking about her recent work on FOXP2. @uclagenetics

[Valerie Arboleda MD, PhD 🤷🏻‍♀️ @ArboledaVal]

Our KAT6A paper is online in Genetics in Medicine! https://t.co/YO064XZCa9

🙌🏼Congrats @CatharineKrebs

[Chris Robles, PhD 💀🧬 @ChrisOmics]

Congrats to DOCTOR @CatharineKrebs for the successful defense of her PhD dissertation!

[Jazlyn Mooney, PhD @Jazlyn_Mooney]

My pre-print on patterns of genetic variation in Latin American Isolates is finally up! We find that the demographic history of population isolates strongly influences geomic patterns of variation, and there is no single signature of a population isolate. https://t.co/7bTNjaA32h
