    So, advice: 1. PREVENTION Don't use jargon. Introduce the relevant idea in functional terms, no OS code names. Don't say 'can we pre-register this?' Don't say 'OSF'. Say 'can I publish my hypotheses about this study before we do it?' Say 'Can we share this dataset publicly?'

    I keep thinking about something Donna Strickland, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics, said this morning on . When asked why she was still an "Assistant" Professor and not a full professor, she said, "I just never applied."

    On Friday I spoke at a CERN workshop on gender and high energy physics. I shared the work of ’ Juno Award, the and other evidence-based institutional programs. The head of theory gave a 30 minute Damore-esque manifesto against .

    I'd love someone to model a scientific career on how these all build on each other. Let's use lower bound, 10% bias. If a successful person should lead ~2 papers by end of PhD, women have 0.9x0.9 chance, so now only 0.81 chance they clear this bar when applying to postdoc.

    I was struck by "manuscripts submitted to eLife with female lead authors were published at 88.3 percent the rate of those with male lead authors". Like, it's ALWAYS 10-15% bias across all kinds of metrics in all kinds of arenas (wages, papers, grants).

    The latest paper from the Deciphering Developmental Disorders project is published today! Led by , it shows that common genetic variants contribute to risk of rare, severe, neurodevelopmental disorders, traditionally thought to be monogenic.

    We just updated to share rare variants linked to broad phenotypic information from almost 10K individuals with Mendelian phenotypes and/or their relatives!

    A useful analogy I used this week: Sequencing, analysing and interpreting genomes is ‘routine’ in the same way the US Navy ‘routinely’ lands planes on aircraft carriers. It might happen regularly by well trained crew with the right equipment but it is *not* an easy thing to do.

    Our paper on modified penetrance of coding variants by cis-regulatory variation is out in ! Huge thanks and congrats to who led the analysis . 1/7

    I have always known the dates, but it just it me: The Great Pyramids at Giza were already 1000 years old when the mammoths went extinct. Think about that.

    "Defendants [] admit that they published the papers without doing any peer review." The motion for summary judgment against OMICS is fascinating reading. via

    This is amazing! Someone made a webtool that attempts to reverse Excel’s corruption of gene names into dates!

    remarkable: biologists are most prone to share unpublished data even prior to preprint stage - Comp apparently Science shares least.
