1) Despite the chaos, I am very pleased to present the terrific research conducted by my post-doc @clarissacoveney.bsky.social. acrjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Last year’s electoral earthquake exposed the difficulty the Democratic Party faces in building a majority for the age of populism. Henry wrote for @AmericanAffrs about liberalism’s transformation, grand ambitions constrained, and what comes next. Read here americanaffairsjournal.org/2025/02/the-...

Epic #fortisnet talk today with brilliant @clarissacoveney.bsky.social Ancient selection & complex regulatory interactions @ GDF5 locus shape joint morphology & OA risk 🦴👏 Marvellous discussion 2 Huge thnx for visiting us ❤️@sotonbiosciences.bsky.social for sharing and Angus Wann for chairing!!

Sounds like a plan www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/aus...

I’ve put together a thread of pieces I’ve written about American history and political culture over the past couple of years. Please take a look and read below! ⬇️ For @time-magazine.bsky.social, I wrote about the Democratic Party’s class realignment. #2024Election time.com/7173651/demo...

To help connect researchers in the #osteoarthritis #musculoskeletal and #ortho fields, @kelseyhcollins.bsky.social and I have started an MSK Research Starter Pack. It’s early days, but please me know if you want to be added! go.bsky.app/DJVukXR

A starter pack of scientists working in molecular evolution and population genetics, with an emphasis on the human and virological. go.bsky.app/2xnyMrS

1/9 I am pleased to present the manuscript by my terrific post-doc @clarissacoveney.bsky.social on complex regulatory interactions at the GDF5 locus and its implications for understanding musculoskeletal trait disease biology. The manuscript is at: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Wondering what happened just over a week ago? Look up Henry Tonks' (@henrymjtonks, linkedin.com/in/henry-tonks-345300338) TIME piece highlights shifts in the Democratic Party and who it is perceived to cater for. time.com/7173651/demo...

Our latest update on the GDF5 story is now live! Here we highlight the importance of considering regulatory interactions and local epistasis in understanding the impact of GWAS variants of high significance. doi.org/10.1101/2024... @tdcapellini.bsky.social Repost from twitter

We are advertising a fully funded PhD project starting September 2025. We’ve been excited for this for a long time- biologically unravelling the results of genetic studies to understand the mechanism of cartilage breakdown conferred by SNPs. Reach out if interested! www.findaphd.com/phds/project...
