Inspired a bit by talking virtually at U. Tennesse with Robert W. Williams in the audience, here are 10 thoughts for human geneticists navigating conversations with each other and broader publics around ethnicity and genetics.

So folks have been comparing the weird Good Morning Britain morning show interview with the climate activist in the UK with *that* scene from #DontLookUp. So we at the The Mehdi Hasan Show put them side by side & the results are.. astounding. Reality mirroring art! Watch:
