Humpty dumpty sat on a wall. Eating some snacks and reading a book. Oh, this was a different day. We shouldn't be defined by our worst moment.

I'm still reading, replying, and liking here but posting over on genomic-dot-social as markjamesadams 🐘 (despite the erasure of this policy document, links to Mastodon servers are still blocked, and the technical implementation underlies the intent)

Traveling through Twitter as through a galaxy in which thought-fragments & snatches of poetry reverberate with a startling intimacy....

....we are astonished to discover in the thoughts of others our own thoughts & in the passions & playfulness of others, our own...

Twitter makes of loneliness something rich & unexpected. But you must choose your travel-companions with care.

Might as well retweet my first tweet before the lights go out. 'txd' was the @TextDriveStatus webhost where I had my website, which was running from the same infrastructure that served the original Twitter (run by @joyent)

wondering if it's on txd, it must be good.

Out today in @ScienceMagazine, our paper on cross-trait assortative mating and why estimates of genetic correlations (i.e. shared genetic effects on phenotypes) are likely inflated. See this thread from the preprint for an overview of the idea and results
24 Mar 2022
New from Richard Border @andywdahl @flint Noah Zaitlen myself & others. Estimated genetic correlations between traits may be inflated by cross-trait assortative mating (xAM): biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…. So are apparent genetic relationships between traits a statistical artefact? 🧵

Okay everyone, before you all go tooting at Mastodon, please consider subscribing to my new substack newsletter: GWAS stories. If not via Twitter, let's keep in touch at least via occasional emails.

Sure, Mastodon is a bit clunky, but have you seen the IT systems academics use on the regular? mastodon.online/@markjamesad…

I'm looking forward to GWAS finding all the "associations" and petering out so we can move past this peculiar "hypothesis free" spell of genetics.
