I get to teach about this paper next week. One of my favorites for the "👻ooh, but epigenetics👻" crowd: academic.oup.com/genetics/art...

Epigenetic Inheritance and the Missing Heritability Problem
Abstract. Epigenetic phenomena, and in particular heritable epigenetic changes, or transgenerational effects, are the subject of much discussion in the cur

Woman accusing Sherrod Brown of forcing transgender surgeries isn’t from Ohio, didn’t have procedure as minor
In an attack ad against U.S. Senate candidate Sherrod Brown, a woman accuses the Democrat of pushing transgender surgeries on minors "like her." She didn't have surgery until she was an adult.

I love how genomic analyses keep dismantling the concept that species cannot interbreed. Even better, ancient introgression often facilitates diversity in a domestic context. New paper shows this is in pigs too! www.science.org/doi/epdf/10.... A thrill to be a small part of a giant piggy effort!

In 2023, @nature.com published 'Papers and patents are becoming less disruptive over time', receiving world-wide media attention. Our Matters Arising, published after a 32 month delay (more on that soon), shows that the reported decline can largely be attributed to dataset artefacts. 🧵
The average CD_5 index per year for Web of Science. The original Park et al. decline (top curve) becomes essentially flat (bottom curve) when removing papers with CD_5=1. Those papers largely correspond to dataset artefacts.
