So excited to be passing the baton to such a thoughtful physician scientist engaged in both creating important new discoveries and in translating discovery for improving human health! We have such terrific young people deserving of leadership roles — GO ALEX!

I am honored and thrilled to take on the role of Division Director for Genetic Medicine @VUMC_Medicine! As a junior faculty member, I benefited tremendously from mentorship and support from @NancyGenetics. I look forward to paying it forward @VUMCgenetics!

Indeed! So much important research is being done with the GWAS catalog — pleiotropy, genetics in diverse populations, investigation of signatures of natural selection overlapping GWAS hits — being able to include cancer biology is critical.

Always fun to see the progress made and participate in discussions about the future efforts of this great resource.
A consensus from today is that we’d really value more #SumStats from our cancer colleagues !

Congratulations 🎉
TONS of thanks to Eric, Nancy, Yi, Xue, and Chunyu! I wouldn't dare to even think about it for a second without you.

So true! The one common certainty of senior women in science is that they “didn’t do it the right way” — they each did it a different right way for them!

There is no one “right” career path. There is only *your* career path. And, if you’re like me, there will be times that it doesn’t even look like a path or it’s not taking you where you want to go. But, there is always another turn waiting ahead.

This has been one of the most fun and exciting projects to think about and work on from conception. Kudos to Doug and his team — fantastic work with terrific downstream utility!

Excited to share new preprint "Phenotypic signatures in clinical data enable systematic identification of patients for genetic testing" led by @MorleyTheodore and with @NancyGenetics @lisa_bastarache @lhan111 @jonmorra8 medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Grateful I can be busy at home, so I don’t worry even more than usual. But for others also this lucky, remember not all of our loved ones share this luck. Reach out even more than usual, to family members and others who cannot work from home. #newtraditions2020

Having a blast @UCLA_CGSI — amazing science, enthusiastic young people, and (if you enjoyed my Old Fashioneds at the picnic) dancing under the stars to Chaka Khan at the Hollywood Bowl!

Do celebrate the birth of a paper, or the gestation of a grant. They are as pure a distillation of our love for scientific inquiry as there is. Celebrate the science! Other people’s judgements might sometimes be worth celebrating too, but science first!
