ASHG18 tweet summary day 4
Continuing from my ASHG18 day 1 post, day 2, day 3 hereβs my list of tweets from day 4.
6F 11:00 am
Cecilia Lingdren
Got there at the end :P
Had #diversitymatters and many flags including the rainbow one in her last slide.

.@bmneale points out dimorphism in research participation - women more likely to participate (generally and in UK Biobank) and yet comparatively understudied #ASHG18
— Avery Davis Bell, PhD (@averydavisbell) October 19, 2018
In the sex dimorphism session, @bmneale points out that in UKBB (as is true for many studies) there are more women than men. More women participate in research and remain in studies, but are actually studied less. #ASHG18

UK Biobank has a great model for sharing data. Straightforward to request access and start collaborating with other human geneticists. @uk_biobank #ASHG18
Ben Neale @bmneale on Round 2 of @uk_biobank GWAS: Added new imputed data, chrX variants, and VEP missense and PTVs with MAF > 1e-6; net 3M more variants. Also ran sex-specific GWAS. Looking forward to updating Open Targets Genetics with this release! #ASHG18

All results are available to download for free from his lab website!

Sex differences in: expression, splicing, interaction cOs-QTLs, allele-specific expression bias
Data from GTEx @GTExPortal
Work with @princyparsana @alexisjbattle among others #ASHG18
Other (morning)
Tissue cell type composition in Gtex changes with age, sometimes in a sex-specific manner #ASHG18
— Misha Vysotskiy (@Misha_Vysotskiy) October 19, 2018
Now: @julirsch does finemapping to find specific causal variants associated with blood cell traits. 230 genes contain fine-mapped coding variants #ASHG18
— Art Wuster (@artwuster) October 19, 2018
@princyparsana: "Addressing confounding artifacts in reconstruction of gene co-expression networks" https://t.co/9Tj85Furxd #ASHG18
— Damien C-C (@dccc_phd) October 19, 2018
M Snyder: Under GTEX consortium, the proteomics project mapped 32 normal human tissues, together have identified ~16k proteins from 14K genes. #ASHG18 #ASHG2018

Afternoon
I like Cecelia Lundgrenβs emphasis on #mutualcontract of mentoring. Altshuler - βdonβt bring the problem, bring the solution. Nice contrast to the typical βsolve important problemβ advice (which is also true).#ASHG18
— Sharon Plon (@splon) October 19, 2018
Cecilia Lundgren - itβs not βwork-lifeβ balance it is βwork-homeβ balance as work is part of our lives! Love that!! She doesnβt email students over week-ends. She takes vacation. #ashg18
— Sharon Plon (@splon) October 19, 2018
CL: Science should embrace everyone, regardless of color, sexual orientation, religion, culture, etc. Diversity matters. A key fundamental part of genetics. [this was the best award recipient talk ever] #ASHG18
— Michael Hoffman @michaelhoffman.bsky.social (@michaelhoffman) October 19, 2018
Really inspiring talk from Cecilia Lindgren accepting this yearβs #ASHG18 Mentorship Award highlighting diversity, work-life balance, value of finding the best work environment for you. Science does not see sex, race, color #diversitymatters
— Claudia Gonzaga-Jauregui (@cgonzagaj) October 19, 2018
As a woman scientist itβs extremely inspiring to see women role models like this yearβs #ASHG18 awardees @ceclindgren & Mary-Claire King and others like @splon @NancyGenetics share their stories, their wisdom, and their opinions #RepresentationMatters
— Claudia Gonzaga-Jauregui (@cgonzagaj) October 19, 2018
A moving acceptance speech by @ceclindgren on her #ASHG18 Mentorship award calling for inclusion, diversity, and assertiveness rather than aggression. Congrats! pic.twitter.com/3HQ5kle7Hu

CL: Advice:
— Michael Hoffman @michaelhoffman.bsky.social (@michaelhoffman) October 19, 2018
- Lean in/hang on step up
- Be positive, persistent, polite
- Assertiveness β aggression
- Choose a work environment supportive of you
- Choose a mentor supportive of you
- Choose a mentor that you can buy into and respect #ASHG18
Diversity
I prefer women/men or female/male - theyβre not perfect since human gender and sex arenβt binary but they do a decent job as short hand. βBoys and girlsβ feels needlessly (verging in offensivey) infantilizing and perhaps extra gendered. #ASHG18
— Avery Davis Bell, PhD (@averydavisbell) October 19, 2018
Re-posting an example how I try to talk about (or avoid unnecessarily talking about) sex and gender in my own work. Not always feasible depending on topic and data, but always, always worth considering carefully. #ASHG18 (CC @fellgernon since related to previous discussion) https://t.co/edqepya3PH
— Avery Davis Bell, PhD (@averydavisbell) October 19, 2018
Misc
Still some people seams to have difficulties understanding no pictures means no pictures. Lady beside me has taken already 2 pictures of the slides and we are not even at the middle of the talk #ASHG18 https://t.co/8J7eggY0Sn
— Alejandra Medina-Rivera (@AleMedinaRivera) October 19, 2018
This got fixed super fast! Thanks for addressing the problem so quickly, @GeneticsSociety! #ASHG18 https://t.co/2sNJJypGje
— Jedidiah Carlson (@JedMSP) October 19, 2018
I can't attend the #ASHG18 Membership Forum. If you can, please propose that @GeneticsSociety appoint an awards nomination committee who will solicit or write nominations for worthy and overlooked members of our community. @nelsondl @NancyGenetics @splon
— Michael Hoffman @michaelhoffman.bsky.social (@michaelhoffman) October 19, 2018
.@GeneticsSociety enjoy good locally roasted #coffee and cute #cats as part of your #ashg18 experience. We're a five minute walk from @sdconventionctr (cross Harbor at 1st, right on Island, walk to 3rd). Your admission includes a food or drink item. pic.twitter.com/tQZR0k8SB1
— Cat Cafe San Diego (@CatCafeSanDiego) October 19, 2018
Everyone should stop by @dnanexus booth to see the virtual reality system @marianattestad and her group has implemented. Itβs stunning. They had to wrestle the headset away from me. #ASHG18
— Mark T. W. Ebbert (@bioinfo_mark) October 19, 2018
This is my personal account, if you've wondered who is doing all these tweets. Thanks again, Mary-Claire. #ASHG18 https://t.co/szITSzqKlK
