Sasha Gusev.

I am an Associate Professor at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Harvard Medical School.

I lead a statistical genetics lab and have contributed to some scientific papers.

I've written a primer on heritability and I sometimes write informally about topics in genetics at theinfinitesimal.substack.com and post on twitter / bluesky.

Some small academic side projects I have worked on recently:

• A simulator to understand and visualize research lab spending
• An aggregator of NIH funding posts
• An interactive visualization of publication time in genetics/genomics
• A search tool for GWAS variants
• An interactive simulation of stabilizing selection

... and some non-academic side projects:

• A swipe-style machine learning model for art
• A jukebox of music from different countries and times
• An analysis of immigration sentiment in US Congressional speeches
• An attempt to visualize $5B in US government investment
