GenomeIndia is a tour de force project which showed that over a 100 Indian scientists from across 20 institutions and universities came together to catalog the most comprehensive genetic diversity compendium of the Indian population. 1/4

Replying to @tetheredtoed1
@tetheredtoed1 tagged me into this thread and rather than going down the comments trying to explain to each person what thresholds scientists have to meet to get federal funding, let me explain it in one thread.
Not all science projects that deserve funding appear immediately rational to the general public. I recall @SarahPalinUSA criticizing "fruit fly research" during the McCain campaign, seemingly unaware that fruit flies are the primary model organism in modern genetics research.

It'd be soon when US graduate school applicants start receiving decisions. Ping me by email if you are a MS/ PhD applicant, and are interested in discussing decision-making on your offer(s). Plz RT @VoicesofIndAcad @PhDsofIndia. Thanks to @arjunrajlab whose tweet triggered this.
Ping me by email if interested in talking about faculty applications/general career advice/science. Talked with several people so far and had great discussions!
