Then I discovered it was YOUR website :) How are you doing? What are you doing these days? I'm faculty at Berkeley and I know for a fact that you know and have worked with Sonia Bishop. I hope all is well and that life with wife and kiddies is fabulous! Darlene John,

The sketches are so funny, yet very precise and quite artistic! I needed something like this for my PPT (I will, of course, mention where did I get the sketches and its author!). Great illustration!!!! Just wanted to say THX!!!!!

Taken to extremes, you can imagine doing a GWAS for every single human trait - simultaneously - and of course nothing would come out because of the ridiculously strong multiple-comparisons correction. Not even real associations.
