Congratulations @stephaniehicks.bsky.social on being named an ASA Fellow! So well deserved! 🎉
New review on context-specificity and disease genetics from @ygilad.bsky.social and me:

Loving the “Pitch a problem” session at the Johns Hopkins Symposium on Engineering in Healthcare. Lots of animated conversations! @jhumceh.bsky.social
My kid just casually referred to the “starboard” side of his shoe. He’s going to be so sad for sailing camp to end and school to start.
Baltimore and Hopkins friends - remember to join us for the Malone Center Symposium Monday Dec 8 in the Glass Pavilion:
Human + AI: Redefining the Standard of Care in Medicine
Such a fun Battle lab retreat this week, with state of the lab updates, lightning talks, AI tools discussion, a meditation session, games, and general merriment. What a great group!
My lab is recruiting postdocs in AI/ML for genetics & genomics through the Malone Postdoctoral Fellows program. Apply by Jan 30! Lots of other great labs across the Malone Center as well.
Now up, led by Ashton Omdahl! Our method GLEANR finds shared genetic factors across lots of GWAS, and handles spurious correlation driven by cohort overlap. Neat examples of factors driving related traits with enrichment in different cell types / developmental stages.
