Me, back in the office after a long holiday: I’m going to spend time to reorient and remember what I’m doing.
My computer: here’s 50 software updates to install and btw I’ll be unusable in the meantime but you can’t leave me because you have to click through all of them.

As long time followers know, I have a longstanding beef about how genetics is so entangled with these groupings of humans as "race" or "ethnicity". Some (more) thoughts from a rainy Broadstairs, on the Isle of Thanet in Kent >>

I spent the last two days talking to a lot of researchers like @ct_bergstrom, @markmccaughrean and @Angie_rasmussen about the #TwitterMigration and, of course, joined here myself.

The article is here and some major points to come:

In the talk, I quickyl reviewed the misniformation and disniformation problem we faced during the COVID pandemic, and moved on to proposed solutions.

The first is to get serious about teaching data reasoning, as Jevin West and I do at http://calllingbullshit.org

The second is to teach enough about the social nature of science that people understand when and why it merits trust. For more detail on this theme, our recent report: https://sciedandmisinfo.stanford.edu/

The very first in-person meeting of the elwazi open data science platform, Supreme Commander of Allied Forces Nicky Mulder presiding. Attendees from UCT, Wits, EMBL-EBI, Broad/Theiagen, ACE Mail, plus more folks on zoom and SAB members.

A nice panel discussion following a series of flash talks highlighting the value but also the real world complexity behind community engagement in data science projects. Definitely learned a thing or two.

Stephen Chacha describes the importance of community engagement in data science projects. Cool example of training local members of a rural (not on google maps) area in Tanzania to map their communities, collecting data in openstreetmap and OpenDataKit in a way that benefited local drivers in the end.

I didn’t get to live toot the excellent flash talks from early career researchers this morning at #DSIAfrica as I got randomly selected to score them! Fifteen 3 minute talks covering a range of research including legal and ethical frameworks for genomic data sovereignty and cross border transfer, data modeling on health outcomes, pathogen genomics and epidemic response, societal attitudes to vaccination, genomic research, etc.
