GWAS has been an incredible discovery tool for human genetics: it regularly identifies *causal* links from 1000s of SNPs to any given trait. But mechanistic interpretation is usually difficult. Our latest work on causal models for this is out yesterday: www.nature.com/articles/s41... A short🧵:

Oh hey, looks like I can upload longer videos here now! Here’s my most recent one covering the latest findings on ecDNA retention mechanisms from the Chang & Mischel labs.

Specifically, I experienced censorship in the reporting of our research because of agency concerns that it did not appear to fully support preconceived narratives of my agency’s leadership about ultra-processed food addiction.

More updates on what’s happening to federally funded US science. Roughly the same magic touch Trump has brought to world trade, actually. Today’s examples are on drug-resistant gonorrhea and vaccine approvals, both of which are going to hell.

Gee, I wonder what that study on vaccines and autism will show www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/... "Geier and his father, Mark Geier, have published papers claiming vaccines increase the risk of autism, a theory that has been studied for decades and scientifically debunked."
