'Compared with the patients’ doctors, the AI model more often failed to detect the presence of disease in Black patients or women, as well in those 40yrs or younger. Wn the researchers looked at race and sex combined, Black women fell to the bottom, with the AI not detecting disease in half of them'

Looks great! Thanks for the explanation. Obviously, we are now curious what the selected locus is that drives this, and the ecological context. 😄 Looking forward to the preprint!

Proudly presenting Dr. Artemis Efstratiou, who recently defended her PhD. She worked on variation of #MHC immune genes and dynamics of the T cell receptor repertoire in sticklebacks under different experimental conditions. Congratulations, Artemis! 🥳🎉 www.biologie.uni-hamburg.de/en/forschung...

This seems to be a general thing on Wiley journal websites. I wonder how that interferes with the idea of #OpenAccess publishing, if only 'healthcare professionals' are allowed to view the content...

I just noticed this new header above the website of #MolecularEcologyResources. I'm sure that there are vast numbers of 'healthcare professionals' who will want to read our paper on MHC diversity in sticklebacks (😂), but what about the other few remaining scientsts? Just asking, @wiley.com ...

Hello Blue world!
I recently migrated from the old Twitter as I got tired of the continuous bombardment of far-right propaganda.
I intend to use this account mainly for scientific exchange with a pinch of politics.

So, why not start with a summary of our recent paper?

‘Petrous Fever’ - not an inner ear problem, but a pretty unique paper collating opinions and reflections on the aDNA ‘gold rush’ from museum curators, archaeologists and anthropologists with some insightful responses at the end.
