What’s the frequency? In this research letter, @caitlinstewart.bsky.social & team use clonal hematopoiesis as a model for simultaneous assessment of somatic mutations across multiple biosamples. buff.ly/6fQcHgy

So proud my postdoctoral work is finally out! We designed an assay to measure cfDNA and DNA mutations in samples collected simultaneously to lower limits of detection in liquid biopsy assays, using clonal hematopoiesis as an example. Read the article here: www.jci.org/articles/vie...

Finally! I remember reading this at the time and not believing it. But the authors are right in saying that to "retract because of a dispute about data interpretation, you’d have to retract half the literature”. Interested to see what happens next. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Starting up OnlyLabs, where people can pay to watch researchers who used to have federal funding do Hot Uncensored Cutting Edge science experiments.

Black Women in Ecology, Evolution, and Marine Science is hiring an executive director: jobs.schmidtmarine.org/companies/bw... Fully remote, pretty good compensation and benefits.

Finally deleted twitter for good. It was just garbage on my feed at this point. Going to be on Bluesky much more now - anyone have good recommendations of who to follow? Looking for anything: art, science, journalism, photography, writers, whatever.

I’ll be at the Festival of Genomics and Biodata in Boston next week. Send me a message if you’ll be there and want to meet up! For my Boston people not attending FOG, I’ll be around the 23-26 of June and would love to see you outside of the conference! #FOGBoston

Happy and proud to see this out! Congratulations to lead author @benjcrousseau.bsky.social and the rest of the Diaz team! I played a small role in this, the amount of work they did to put this together was huge. authors.elsevier.com/c/1lFj85TA51...

I have tariffed the penguins that are on Heard Island and which you were probably assuming did not export goods forgive me they were taking advantage of us so cunning and so cold

Happy April Fool's! If you didn't know, there is a traditional in the astronomy community to post joke papers to the arxiv today, so here's a few highlights. Emphasis on a few (these are just a couple of my favorites), stay tuned for the @astrobites.bsky.social review post for the full collection!🔭

A preprint by @elembio.bsky.social on an on flowcell simplified hybrid capture approach that retains high specificity and enables PCR-free workflow www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

I’m happy to share that I’m starting a new position as Scientific Reaearch Lead at SAIL (sail.mskcc.org) at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center! Going to be exploring the world of single cell and spatial omics again. 🧪🦠🧬 Very excited for this opportunity and to be with my MSK colleagues again!

HHMI Science Department is hiring! We are looking for an outstanding immunologist/ cancer biologist to join our senior leadership team. Remote work eligible, 24 weeks a year onsite, possibility of running a small lab with HHMI support @hhmi.bsky.social hhmi.wd1.myworkdayjobs.com/External/job...

Excellent observation by my friend Grittney Tam at #AGBT2025 - all the speakers who are men were compensated by Illumina for their invited talks, but not the only woman speaker?

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline.

I’ve had whooping cough despite being vaccinated (the vaccine doesn’t work in everyone and people like me rely on herd immunity), it was awful. Antivaxxers stopped vaccinating kids in my area and I got it. We’ll relive the devastation soon enough and hopefully come round to vaccinate again.

New preprint alert! My first paper from working with Gencove! We looked at low cost library options for low coverage sequencing. Check it out and come ask questions at my poster on the same topic at #AGBT24 if you’re coming! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

My work water bottle (which sits on my desk year round) is finally seasonable again.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

“I do not blame academia for my addiction. I am, however, arguing for a space where we can talk more freely about the addictions that plague us, a space that makes room for people in recovery instead of expecting them to go it alone.” Thoughts in 🧵

Something rarely discussed is addiction and stress regarding staying sober in academia. We hear a lot about mental health challenges but this particular one is something that needs to be more widely discussed! Excited to read the article on Thursday. Congrats Alicia!

I moved to the US under Obama and even then was afraid to live in a red state as an LGBTQ+ person. I can’t imagine it now.

Gencove isn’t on bsky yet so posting this for them! Join us Tues Dec 5th at 12pm ET for the next installment of Genomics Unmuted. We're excited to welcome Mary T. Yohannes and Zan Koenig from the Broad Institute to share recent work on harmonizing data from the HGDP and 1kGP. bit.ly/dec_unmuted

Hello world! I’m a Canadian who did her PhD in genomics in the UK, then moved to NYC for 2 postdocs and finally left for a start up this year! I post about science, being queer, travel adventures, and my bengal kitties. So, here’s Hazel looking cute.
