Work with Nick Powell is out on Genetics! Nick used data from the All of Us Research Project to connect G6PD genotypes and phenotypes, and I tested some variant functions in yeast with @maitreya.bsky.social! Power of human+yeast genetics! academic.oup.com/genetics/adv...

I’m considering myself in the β€œkids 10 and up” category because I need this to fuel my own childlike wonder about the world. One of my favorite science books, can’t wait for the illustrated version!

Excited that our beer proteomics work is up on bioRxiv! A great crew to work with and have fun exploring what’s happening inside yeast while it’s making beer. Also check out the very cool data viewer:
