delighted to have this finally published! 🌟 very cool opportunity to collaborate with climate scientists, circadian rhythm, epi, & genetics experts! we used satellite weather data to calculate home address ambient UVB to look at vitamin D genetics, some highlights 🧵 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Genome-wide gene-environment interaction study uncovers 162 vitamin D status variants using a precise ambient UVB measure - Nature Communications

In place of ‘season’ as the typical sun exposure proxy, this study uses ambient UVB linked to participants’ addresses. The results deepen our understanding of the link between vitamin D and health and...
