    I downloaded a pdf of this "Emoji Guide to Human Genetic Diversity", just to give it a curious look, and ended up reading the entire thing! It's so entertaining, concise, and well-written! I might actually assign it as a reading for one of my classes!! :)

    Even the single most impactful genetic variant in humans (chromosome X vs Y) is not an insurmountable barrier to mental ability. For both race and gender, human differences seem more robust, innate, and meaningful than they really are. 🕺🐂🐏 🆚 🐑🐄💃

    Some genes do vary substantially between human populations, but individual genetic variants provide no compelling evidence for innate cognitive or temperamental differences. Predicting traits from🧬: 🐁 🆚 🐀 = easy 🆎 🆚 🅾️ = easy 👩‍🎨 🆚 👩‍🏫 = hard

    In fact, human biodiversity is unusually low compared to diversity in most other species. While we can identify genetically distinct human populations with statistics, the differences are small. 👨🏽👶🏿👱🏿‍♀️👧🏾👨🏼👩🏾👦🏽👵🏾👶🏻👩🏻👱🏻‍♀️👦🏿👧🏽👴🏿<🐰

    The human common ancestor lived much more recently than our split with other species, and evolution is very slow, so from first principles we should expect little genetic divergence among human populations. 🐒→→[insert thousands of arrows here]→→👨🏼‍🔧👨🏿‍🏭

    Good morning. Today, just like every day, a guardian will protect one of the most precious treasures in the universe from the single most dangerous threat to its existence. The guardian, the treasure, and the threat are all you. Have a nice day.

    Reminders inspired by this week's bioinformatics troubleshooting: 1. If uploading a file from a PC to the cluster, remove (e.g. with dos2unix) the secret carriage return that Microsoft hides at the end of every line. 2. Make sure your big data file was downloaded completely.

    Typical bioethical failure in reality: the rich and powerful abuse ecological resources and/or vulnerable people. Typical bioethical failure in fiction: rogue scientist creates a monster or something.

    Today I watched a masterful professional bel canto solo containing the literal phrase, “evolutionary theory rests on a faulty base.” Clearly there is a need for a touring theatrical musical performance with a pro-evolution message. Somebody get on that.

    Pro tip: if you are about to read a 500+ page book called "The Biology of..…" anything, and the author has zero training in biology or any other natural science, maybe your time would be better spent reading a different book.

    Think of 10 notable people, living or dead, whom you really admire. I bet at least 5 haven’t been honored with a species name, and that they are all more deserving than some who have (e.g. Hitler). Taxonomists, this is on you to highlight some of humanity’s unsung heroes.

    I started 2010 in a soft-money academic research position analyzing large population genomic datasets. Ten years later, I’m now in a soft-money academic research position analyzing large population genomic datasets. Life is good.

    Just realized that the Jellicle Cats poem used the phrase “merry and bright” before the songs “White Christmas” and “Here Comes Santa Claus” were written and facilitated its association with the holidays. This whole time it’s really been a reference to whatever jellicle means.
