"The University of Michigan, a fellow institution dedicated to the educational uplift of humanity, condemns the recent bomb threats that have been levied against several Historically Black Colleges and Universities." -@DrRobSellers FULL STATEMENT | myumi.ch/DJrEG

Throughout our nation’s history, threats of violence have been used to terrorize and intimidate, in an attempt to suppress voices and prevent change. In spite of this, our HBCUs have persevered throughout their 185 years in existence, and will continue to persevere, rise above, and thrive."

Though not in the same room with study participants, we are able to build rapport - and gather #QualityData in the process. The Live Televideo Interview has proven a convenient, cost-effective #interviewing protocol. Here's how we conduct successful #LTIs: lnkd.in/eTdyNsy

I was proud to give this interview to @techreview and discuss the scientific arguments for broadening representation in genomics. We humans are beautiful, diverse, and amazing and all need to be included and represented in research. @popgenw technologyreview.com/2018/10…
DNA databases are too white. This man aims to fix that.

Carlos D. Bustamante’s hunt for genetic variations between populations should help us better understand and treat disease.

I'm heartbroken about what's happening in my country. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results. It's time for good people with different views to stop finger pointing and come together to address this violence for the good of our country.

"Father at centre of measles outbreak didn't vaccinate children due to autism fears" by @helloryanjones @CBCHealth cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c… #vaccineswork Depressing example of the power of conspiracy theories to create hesitancy. Really infuriating that this myth lives on.

Father at centre of measles outbreak didn't vaccinate children due to autism fears | CBC News

The man whose family is at the centre of a measles outbreak in Vancouver said he didn't vaccinate his children because he distrusted the science at the time.
