Genomics can be quite big and complex, so I've been working with an illustrator for this talk, to make it feel a little more approachable.

I've seen a lot of different versions of this graph, and I think this one is my favourite.

Inspired by yesterday’s shouty friend trying to convert me… what you eat is something you do, not who you are. Food connects us, but our choices don't define us, we don't need to judge ourselves or others, and we don't need to convert the rest of humanity to our way of eating.

Brisbane friends!

Next Friday I'll be getting up and talking about genetics as part of the Brisbane Comedy Festival!

It's should be a lot of fun!

Thanks InspiringQld and FutureScientificLtd

4/7 The new statistical method developed at IMB, SBayesRC, has been developed to improve the accuracy of predicting polygenic risk scores, and significantly improves prediction accuracy by up 34% on average across 50 diseases

3/7 Polygenic risk scores hold promise for clinical applications, such as preventative medicine and personalised treatments but a key challenge lies in their limited accuracy, especially when applying across diverse populations.

1/7 Researchers have developed a new statistical method to improve the accuracy of predicting the genetic risk of common diseases across diverse populations and ancestries, which will contribute to mitigating the health disparities between European & non-European populations.

Health fact: #cancer can send text messages, and put up 'do not disturb' signs that allow it to spread undetected by your body. Thanks to a $590K grant, we're taking a peek at those texts and pulling down the signs with a focus on a particularly aggressive type of #breastcancer 🧵
