On a train to Philly. Man gets on, no mask. Attendant says he needs one. He doesn't have one, wraps piece of clothing around face. Attendant leaves. Man removes covering. Says "fucking bitch." The level of "Philly" brought into this man by fellow passengers is beyond. 1/n

I loved teaching this course with Prof. Leslea J. Hlusko as a GSI back in 2013. She taught me so much about teaching, and she and her course was a huge source of inspiration for the human evolutionary genomics class I now teach. Very excited more ppl will have access to these engaging lessons!

Attending my second GEP Alumni Workshop and loving the discussion and learning I'm getting from everyone in this community. From pedagogy discussions to ways to increase equity to building community, so much cool stuff. Looking forward to next two days. BINGO! Genomics Education Partnership

Great Genomics Education Partnership DMV regional meeting! Student talks were so impressive. Thanks for hosting Melinda Yang. RU Biology
