Do you know the name Dorothy Hansine Andersen?

She was the first researcher and physician to discover cystic fibrosis and its autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. As a pathologist, she recognised distinctive organ damage in the pancreases and lungs of deceased children with celiac disease.

With #FindMe2care we connect patients with rare genetic diagnoses to research, clinical trials, and patient organizations.

Excited to present our platform at #ESGCT2025! Curious? Let's chat during breaks or meet me at the poster session tomorrow, P1111.

There was lots of data to play with for #TidyTuesday this week where we're looking at the power of different passports! ✈️

I decided to try out the idea of using small multiples and highlighting to untangle a spaghetti chart with lots of lines 📊

#RStats #DataViz #ggplot2

Chart showing how rankings of passports have changed over time, split by region with top one in each highlighted. European are ranked high, and UAE has had a dramatic rise.

Adding to the gazillion other #moon images for today’s lunar eclipse: despite the initial clouds, I finally got a view of the moon and enjoyed a lovely evening watching the sky!

Your average #code comment: “water”

A small sign in front of a little river. The sign says “water” in two languages, telling you the obvious.

Great collection of responses in the replies here for anyone interested in coding with #Rstats / #Python for economic applications #EconSky

Hi, all! Looking for recommendations for asynchronous courses or self-paced learning materials (not just books or slides but also including exercises) for learning R and Python relevant to academic uses in business and economics research! TIA #EconSky

I think I’ve seen this one before

A Startrek meme of a scene where a Cardassian torturer tries to break Cpt. Picard’s will and force him to repeat a false claim as truth. In this version, adapted to the blueberry context, Picard insists that there are only two “b” in blueberry.

I sometimes fired your up python/ pandas just for its read_html() function.
With one line I got a list of all html tables found at a given url, which you can then write to a csv individually.

And then I went back to #rstats - obviously

What session is this? Those are interesting questions and results. Did they publish related data?

It’s new to me as well… Since I’m not attending, I could take the time figuring it out 👍

From now on all posts should be included automatically. I tried to capture all previous posts retrospectively, but might have missed a few.

Does anyone know of good custom feed generators for Bluesky that don’t require coding or setting up your own server?

Getting ready for #eshg2025 …and our postdoc @lydiasagath.bsky.social made a nice BINGO card again.
Paying a lot of attention to the entire event will pay off!

Since I cannot attend #ESHG2025 this year, I hope to see many interesting posts following the hashtag! I already found familiar names to follow from the human genetics community finally populating the platform!
