Come join some scicomm nerds on a live stream while you're #workingfromhome!

We talked about listening to the center for disease control, coronavirus, (and the coronavirus outbreak), keeping accountable (and factual) while using social media, how to understand ourselves and our biases, motivated reasoning, and of course Star Trek, Harry Potter and Middle Earth!

It wasn't all #COVID19 all the time, and it never will be. Take care of yourselves and #washyourhands!

$Can Your DNA Really Reveal Your Hidden Ancestry? #IsThisReal Presidents, Senators, men, women and people everywhere are all talking about using DNA to test their ancestry, but how do they KNOW where you’re from by your DNA? Is this testing reliable? Is DNA testing for ancestry real? Love this video or have an idea for a future one? Join the nerdfam!: http://patreon.com/tracedominguez ~~~ 🐱 Good Lynx 🐱 ~~~ *Pulling Back the Curtain on DNA Ancestry Tests* This is an excellent read with some links to studies about how this data is used to create results and how different parts of DNA are used (and could be used). https://now.tufts.edu/articles/pulling-back-curtain-dna-ancestry-tests *Killer breakthrough – the day DNA evidence first nailed a murderer* The Guardian is one of the great newspapers in the UK, and in this piece they write about the beginning of DNA in identification. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jun/07/killer-dna-evidence-genetic-profiling-criminal-investigation *DNA-testing companies say they can pinpoint your ethnicity. Can they?* I found this fantastic piece by McClatchy DC covering a lot of what I learned for this piece. Sadly, I found it after I’d already written a majority of the script, but you can find it now! It’s great! https://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/article211199759.html ~~~~ ¡Come follow me on all those social machines! ~~~~ 📷:: http://instagram.com/tracedominguez 🐤:: http://twitter.com/tracedominguez 😐:: http://facebook.com/official.tracedominguez 👻:: snapchat/trace501 🎮:: twitch.tv/mrtraced P.S — On top of all this, the data the companies use are samples of the DNA samples. No one is looking at all of the billions of the ATGCs in your genetic code, they’re only taking chunks, sections and only looking at those. AND they’ve only sampled recently, not over the centuries either (which would seem to be important). Maybe someday we’ll have DNA evidence to test all these things, but for now we’re just looking at a tiny fraction of a tiny fraction of the population from very recent time. Please take a sec and share this video on twitter or facebook; it’ll REALLY help us grow the channel, so we can tell even more amazing stories! Love you!$
