I did not know you have a Taiwanese connection. I’m visiting NTU right now!

OMG…

It was a great day!!!! #champion

You actually have these AI reviewers?

And Turi King…

That's a wrap, #ASHG25!

"An evaluation of the prediction accuracy for polygenic score models across thirteen quantitative biomarkers and anthropometric measures in Native Hawaiians" from Kimberli Alatorre. Kimberli is a postbac in her first research experience!

and.. "Incorporating Dietary Information to Enhance Polygenic Prediction Models with Applications to Body Mass Index and Type 2 Diabetes" from Eunice Lee:

First day of poster session is done! If you missed our poster but still want to check it out, you can use the link here!

"Pattern of genetic variation and enrichment of functional alleles in Native Hawaiians" from @jitang1024.bsky.social :

I will presenting a poster on Thursday on our recent work led by Kelsey Johnson (USC, not on Bluesky) on the genetic architecture of mtDNA copy number in human milk! Board #3049T!

So… you put SCalE on the day of a potential game 7 of the world series!?

Qin shi huang would probably be the most famous for commissioning expeditions to acquire elixirs of immortality, but that's > 2000 years ago, so take it what you will.

There were a number of emperors believed to have died from consuming elixir for immortality. The more recent one might be (just so it's a bit more historically recorded, though they are probably still vague in official record): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jiajing...

Sorry for the late reply, you know, it's grant deadline day... if it's still useful, I would look into "The eight immortal" for various folklores and stories of they themselves resurrecting, or resurrecting others. Like:

If it’s just “desire to escape death” there are plenty of examples in chinese… real emperors in history tried to obtain medicine to live forever, commissioning voyages to seek these meds, some even recorded in history to die from poison of these meds.

Pretty sure it’s not hard to find, though probably unlikely in english. Let me know if you’d like to know more.
