The controversial history of the HGDP is also receding into the past and relatively unknown by a new generation of scientists now making frequent use of the data. We give a brief overview of HGDP history and suggestions for further reading in Box 1 3/

Sarah Nelson @blueyedgenes.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

Our study was motivated by an apparent paradox of widespread and even growing use of HGDP-derived data paired with unease and hesitation in at least some research groups/consortia about its continued use 2/

🚨BREAKING: 300+ NIH employees call out the harm of censorship & politicized science in scathing email to Bhattacharya, demanding an end to political interference, a lift on funding freezes, & rehiring of fired staff whose work saves lives. This is historic - insiders are blowing the whistle. 🧵(1/5)

Front-page-style graphic titled “BREAKING NEWS” with photos of RFK Jr. and Dr. Bhattacharya in front of a government hearing chamber. Text reads: “NIH Scientists Sound the Alarm as Health Research Faces Historic Threat” and “NIH Employees Send Trump Cronies Scathing Wake-Up Call.”
