Dear #ASHG18, As human geneticists, we cannot "just focus on our research". We cannot pretend that our research isn't being misused. Doing so is being actively complicit with white supremacy/nationalism. Full stop. nytimes.com/2018/10/17/us/… (1/n)
I am floored of reporting there are no sessions discussing the context of human genetics research at the annual meeting of the American Society of Human Genetics. Especially because I know symposia on the topic were submitted. #ASHG18 (2/n)
Remember that "give-away" three years ago at ASHG? mathbionerd.blogspot.com/2015/10/im-not… The shirt that is only "funny" if you understand the dual meaning of DNA purification and "purity" of human lineages?

No? Oh yeah, because human geneticists are complicit with white supremacy.
