I feel only joy for Henry Kissinger's death.
He destroyed my home country Cyprus. My parents had to flee to escape from his "foreign policy". His destruction spread across many other countries such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Chile, Bangladesh to name a few. He had the blood of millions of people on his hands. May this old scumfuck rot in Hell. I'm glad he's dead. Praise all the Gods of Death.

Does anyone remember Sideshow, by William Shawcross? It’s a book that should be read again, and no time better than now.

You want to estimate FST for a polyploid? or a partial selfer? or some species with a weird reproductive mode? You want population specific FST as well as global FST? You have population sizes and migration estimates and want to predict FST? Check our latest paper with Bruce Weir:

'It is 1961 and Gabriel García Márquez has just arrived in Mexico City, penniless but full of literary ambition, trying desperately to work on a new novel. One day, he is sitting in the legendary Café La Habana, where Fidel Castro and Che Guevara were said to have plotted the Cuban Revolution. Julio Cortázar walks in, carrying a copy of Juan Rulfo’s novel “Pedro Páramo.” With a swift gesture, as if he’s dealing cards, Cortázar throws the book on García Márquez’s table. “Tenga, pa que aprenda,” he says. “Read this and learn.”

"As Chile and Argentina finally seek justice for those who were tortured, raped, and "disappeared" under the right-wing dictatorships of the 70s, the declassification process in Washington is revealing the horrifying complicity of then U.S. secretary of state Henry Kissinger"

"In this brief review, we present and summarize the data describing how newly described enhancers located within the large V gene portion of Igκ and Igh loci work as a higher-order mechanism for the regulation of the Ab repertoire formation by regulating chromatin interactions and epigenetic milieu, which in turn alter the 3D chromatin topology of the loci."

"In 1921, nearly 30 per cent of 19-year-old Swiss conscripts had a goitre. In the cantons of Luzern and Obwalden, one in four men were exempt from military service as a result of goitres so large they struggled to breathe. For every man with a goitre, three women suffered from the condition"

'He told me he had started writing the song for a prospective musical version of Nosferatu years before, but never finished it. Around the time we were recording, Meat Loaf had lost his voice, and after it was a hit he always used to say: “Dang. That song should have been mine!”
