    Do any of the "get paid for your genome" businesses interest me? Sure. Do they excite me? Not one bit. What IS exciting? Stuff like ROOT that is doing. Get free HLA screening, find matches you can donate renewable stem cells to.

    No family is immune. If I could track the asshole down who did this to my daughter, he'd meet with Viking vengeance. Thinking of starting WNRA. You heard it here first. We will protect ourselves.

    Was just looking at past Curt Stern award winners; 19/20 are men 😮 All deserving (incl. this year's honoree ), but that ratio does not reflect my experience of "outstanding human geneticists". The even more prestigious Allan award is something like 47:8

    Today I received the worst review of a manuscript I’ve ever had. The TL;DR: great study, shame the results were negative. Here’s why that’s a crappy attitude - a thread (1/n)

    I overheard a young man on the train on the way home today, talking to another young man. Holding hands. In college, I guessed. About that age anyway. Much younger than I am.
