Congrats to Dr. @saracarioscia.bsky.social and Dr. Dylan Taylor!!

I'm defending my PhD next Friday, May 23!(!!!!). I'll be highlighting our work looking at aneuploidy in early human development. If you're interested I'd love to have you join via Zoom (DM me for info) or on the Homewood campus!

Apparently not all my popgen advice is good.

My main PhD work is up! See thread below. I would love to discuss! www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

Thrilled to see this work out - its been fascinating to look at statistical genetics in these IVF embryo datasets underlying meiotic aneuploidies and recombination! Joint work led with @saracarioscia.bsky.social. See thread below, thoughts welcome! www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

huge congrats to @saracarioscia.bsky.social @aabiddanda.bsky.social Margaret and @rajivmccoy.bsky.social!!!! So excited to see this out!

Very excited to share (most of) my PhD work, in which we use human retinal organoids to understand how thyroid hormone signaling is regulated in the developing retina to promote robust and accurate photoreceptor subtype specification. Turns out, it's a lot more complicated than we expected. 1/n

Congrats to Brian Guy from my lab who became Dr. Guy PhD today!!!

Check out this tour de force work from @christ3na.bsky.social in my lab! Her studies reveal how developmental timing in the retina is controlled like an hourglass. The progenitor:neuron ratio shifts to control signaling levels and trigger photoreceptor development over time. Check it out!!

Think of a polygenic score you care about. Are direct genetic effects driving variation among people in this predictor? Or perhaps other, confounding factors? We at the @arbelharpak.bsky.social & @docedge.bsky.social Labs developed a method to tackle this question. [1/n]
