Dear Everyone, thanks.
Especially to the amazing work of my lab mates, my colleagues across fields whose discoveries this is built on, and mentors past and present.

Completely humbled to be awarded an #ERCCoG by @[email protected] to fathom chromatin function at @[email protected] https://twitter.com/ERC_Research/status/1620376382428819461

Friday 22nd June 1917: This is the 37-year-old Sar Amadou, a Senegalese soldier posted to the French army's 7th artillery regiment near Ballersdorf, in Alsace, eastern France, during the Great War. I've enhanced this autochrome portrait by Paul Castelnau, which is not colourised.

The genetic ancestry labels that the NIH “All of Us” biobank genetic data returns seem likely to add to general confusion about genetics and race/ethnicity [see appendix A here: https://www.researchallofus.org/wp-content/themes/research-hub-wordpress-theme/media/2022/06/All%20Of%20Us%20Q2%202022%20Release%20Genomic%20Quality%20Report.pdf] 1/n
