On April 24, 2020 I participated in the first Decolonize DNA Twitter conference . This conference was created and organized by Krystal Tsosie as an online space to hold conversations about the social implications of genetics research. From the conference website (https://decolonize-dna.org/):
As part of larger DNA Day celebrations, the conference will critically discuss the impacts of genomics and DNA on society as a whole. Especially for communities who are generally underrepresented in genomics, many have complex relationships with how genomics studies are conducted. Thus, our goal is to provide a platform for academics to voice these concerns to a broader audience. To see my tweet talk presentation on using ancient DNA to revisit & reconsider the historical record in the Americas follow the Twitter thread here.
