Congratulations Zhi Yu🎈

My first paper as an independent young investigator on sex differences in the multivariate genetic architecture of humans got published in PNAS. We estimated the B matrix in humans which shows sexual antagonism mostly driven by testosterone. bit.ly/4bOYoSC

Really looking forward to participate in this event and interacting with my esteemed co-speakers as well as friends and colleagues Dana-Farber. Hoping Boston will be much cooler than Maryland!

🚀 Excited to share our newest preprint on medRxiv medrxiv.org/content/10.110…! The manuscript focuses on developing PRS for never-smoker lung adenocarcinoma risk in East Asian populations.

A great project led by a talented postdoc fellow Batel Blechter , co-mentored by Qing Lan, Nathaniel Rothman, and myself. Many thanks to our amazing collaborators. Takashi Kohno@Natl Cancer Ctr, Japan , Nilanjan Chatterjee , Stephen Chanock, MD , Jiyeon Choi Cancer Epi & Genetics .

Visited the incredible historic city Aurangabad, a 45 min flight from Mumbai. It is hard to find such layers of history at one place, from the ancient Hindu, Buddhist and Jain era to the medieval Islamic era.

The thesis behind the famous JHU dashboard n more.

Cigarette sales and lung cancer deaths are the same curve, shifted 25 years.

Study reports nearly half a million cancer deaths have been avoided in Canada since 1988, highlighting the substantial progress made in cancer control interventions. #cancerscreening Matt Warkentin UCalgaryMedicine Read here: oxford.ly/3L9GeyZ

Though Black and white women have similar breast cancer incidence rates, Black women are more than 40% more likely to die from the disease. They develop more aggressive breast cancer tumors and are diagnosed younger. magazine.publichealth.jhu.edu/2024/exploring…

My first foray into polygenic risk score w/ awesome statsgen colleagues Nilanjan Chatterjee & Jin Jin: arxiv.org/abs/2401.15014. Turns out the commonly-used approx likelihood can give rise to an improper posterior! (We present a fix.) It won Yuzheng Dun an ASA student paper award 🎉

Pleased to announce that our paper has now been published in Nature Communications: doi.org/10.1038/s41467…

One more time for the people in the back: AI is a software wrapper around machine learning, machine learning is fancy words for statistics, thanks for coming to my TED talk

Our Statistics Science Interview of Ray Carroll about his career, joint with Nilanjan Chatterjee . Ray is an outstanding statistician and scientist. He has been a wonderful mentor of many, not just his students and postdocs, but many who are not. projecteuclid.org/journals/stati…
