PRS are useful but not definitive when it comes to phenotype development, as you’ve hinted at, but I take issue with using them for eugenics purposes with the main reason being we do not know the underlying causal mechanism. It is too early to use them with confidence for something like this IMO.

I work with PRS and I am not confident in using them for IVF purposes (that may change when we understand what’s actually going on the proteomics level). I would equate it to something along the line of sports betting with the consequences being eugenics in nature.

We absolutely do not - geneticist who has worked on neurodevelopment projects

We don’t even know why Turner Syndrome - a disorder of X chromosomes - often leads to neurodevelopment delays. We have hypotheses that still aren’t tested, so anyone claiming to know the genetics of neurodevelopment is grifting you.

I realize now my quote cutoff may have been misleading. I too found the burn on the NYT funny.

The Onion’s latest expansion into physical media had forced the company to reevaluate all parts of its business—from its glaringly inaccurate reporting, to its comparatively low circulation numbers, to its deeply unpopular brand, to its completely inept columnists.

Lmao

It was a group of family and friends lol. I wouldn’t expect them to have a good answer for that

Visited this Cathedral when I was in Seville and was surprised to see it.

I then ruined the mood for the group by asking why one of the biggest Catholic churches in the world has one of the world’s most famous slavers buried there Lmao

You and I will agree that Israel is escalating this near century old conflict and the US needs to stop sending weapons to them, but nothing good will come from more bombs being dropped in the region.

It’s a fucking meme

So then it means nothing? I’m supposed to take away nothing from this very-clearly-designed-as-an-infographic meme? Alright.

It’s indiscriminate bombing in response to indiscriminate bombing. No one benefits from this.
