When you come back from #ASHG23 to hugs and cute/silly cards, amazing espresso, and your orchid blooms opening 24 hours later, it makes for a nice homecoming.

Call for Papers! Genome Research is now encouraging submissions for a Special Issue on Long-read DNA Sequencing Applications in Biology and Medicine, Guest Edited by Ana Conesa, Alexander Hoischen, and Fritz Sedlazeck @sedlazeck.bsky.socialbit.ly/grcallforpapers#longreads#T2T#ASHG23

That’s a wrap on #ASHG23 folks. I hope everyone gets home safely and has some good time to rest!

So long #ASHG23! It’s been great.

Adam Rutherford delivered a great overview of how the past of eugenics is still with us in today’s education of genetics and how it shapes the public view #ashg23 Fascinating to see the origin and paths of these ideas and phenotypes, accepted as truths (eye and hair color) even if they are false

Now listening to @AdamRutherford speak on eugenics at #ASHG23 - sobering, engaging, and thought-provoking stuff. My hot takes: American exceptionalism and monogenic determinism is really effing things up.

Time for one last talk before saying goodbye to#ASHG23 and what better way than to hear @adamrutherford.bsky.social really about eugenics and its history?

For anyone still around at #ASHG23#ASHG2023 (and alive after last night's gala) I am speaking in the next session "Genetic diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders beyond the exome"🧬 Come join us in room 207A!

Oh What A Night it was to celebrate 75 years of #ASHG#EthidiumSpill#ASHG2023#ASHG23#OneHumanityManyGenomes

Over this week some people mentioned that they saw my picture on the main floor of #ASHG23#ASHG2023 The best instance was today when a little person ran to the poster saying "Mama!!!" 😍
