Only 2 weeks left to get legislation through before the next election in Australia to protect anyone who engages with genetic and genomic research from having to worry about it impacting their insurance.
Please urge your local MP to make this happen

This account is a firehose of quantitative racism but it is worth re-iterating that: if a trait like skin color is caused by genes, and society determines outcomes based on skin color, then -- yes -- those outcomes will also be heritable. This is heritability 101!

I am excited to attend #ASHG2024 this year! I want to plug the talk I will give at the featured 10th TOPMed anniversary symposium.
My talk is titled "Patterns of ultra-rare genetic variation from high coverage whole genome sequencing of over 150,000 diverse individuals."
