Starting off the new year with a new paper! 🎆📰 Check out @mauer_jh 's fantastic manuscript evaluating features influencing the accuracy of local ancestry inference in admixed populations. Tweetorial posted previously for the preprint below, and PDF at:
I am delighted to announce that @mauer_jh’s first paper with me is up on biorxiv! Their work thoroughly evaluates features affecting local ancestry inference across many (I mean many) simulated demographic and data models to advise on best practices.

Apparently, it’s Boss’s Day today - something I learned when my amazing team surprised me with a custom cookie cake! I’m so touched and grateful to be surrounded by such a talented and thoughtful group. ☺️

So proud of my stellar trainee, @get_grace_ , who will be leading an advocacy workshop for @GeneticsSociety tomorrow! There's still time to register - don’t miss her insights on driving real change in genetics research.
Advocacy can shape the future of human genetics, and you can help! 💪Next Wednesday, you'll gain hands-on skills to amplify your voice and influence policy. 🧬No prior experience required! Purchase your ticket to join us and be part of the change: #ASHG
