We are hosting the 2026 edition of the Midwest Population Genetics Meeting at UChicago on August 21 and 22! This is a trainee focused meeting with many opportunities to present!
The abstract deadline for Midwest Popgen 2026 has been extended to June 12! jkreinz.github.io/mwpg2026/

I am looking for a postdoc to work in theoretical population genetics. We focus on theory and methods for inferring demographic histories and selection using modern and ancient genomic data. Come join our amazing community in Chicago. More info here: steinrueckenlab.uchicago.edu/files/2024/11/…

@philipcball Yeah I got ten pages in and put it down. I’ve been told that the translation improves in the second book, but just couldn’t make it…
I'm thrilled to announce that I've joined the Section of Genetic Medicine at the University of Chicago as an assistant professor! The Simons lab is officially open! yuvalsimons.org
This isn't a new thought, but I'm wondering today how much of the pervasive sense of burnout or disengagement among life science professors today is a sense of soft institutional betrayal for the last three years. That our institutions do not share our morals
@Jenn_Coughlan This one?
I am buying a -80 freezer. In my experience, this can be a hit or miss situation, so I wanted to ask the community here: What brand and recent model (that still exist on the US market) do you highly recommend? Which brand and model you do NOT recommend?
Super excited my new preprint with @FerRacimo and @fleventy5!! This is also *my first* preprint so I’m extra stoked. Here’s a thread about it… (1/?)
Exploring the effects of ecological parameters on the spatial structure of genetic tree sequences biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… #bioRxiv
@BeEngelhardt @__yoson__ @bidumit Really sad to hear this. I have really fond memories of visiting this group meeting and of Casey
Our approach is simple to implement and can provide better protection against confounding than the standard PCA approach when the test of interest is known ahead of time
We then show how to correct for this bias when testing for the association between PGSs and an ancestry gradient of interest in the prediction panel by leveraging the overlap in structure between the two panels
Motivated by recent evidence of residual confounding in PGS, we first use a simple model of genetic relatedness to show how confounding in the GWAS biases the distribution of PGS in the prediction panel in a way that depended on the overlap in population structure between panels
@jgschraiber Section 4.4 in the supplement of @yuvalsim's 2018 paper is relevant here: journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…
Super excited to share a preprint of work from my PhD with @JeremyJBerg 🎉 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
If anyone knows of any data science / pop gen positions in industry please get in touch! NYC area or remote. @Color laid off ~50% of the company. Genomics R&D work basically out. Frustrating news, but proud of my contributions and grateful for all I learned & great colleagues.
