Do you have a perspective, Sarah, as a geneticist and somebody involved in training new geneticists?

Sarah GoodacreGUEST
Well, it's, it's one of those things that I must say it's, it's a real privilege to talk to Alex and Maria and to have read the paper and have learnt so much because it was a real gap for me, I think.

Sarah GoodacreGUEST
I was trained as a geneticist, and I sat, um, as I, I've written in a commentary, I sat beneath Fisher's window and thought about statistics and genetics.

Sarah GoodacreGUEST
And I think probably this paper came out of a feeling that there was something missing and that we as a, a, a society of geneticists didn't have the expertise to really look at this properly, but we felt there was something missing.

Sarah GoodacreGUEST
And, and I don't just mean continue to do things differently, but actually think about how it is we're, we are training each other to think.

Sarah GoodacreGUEST
You know, why did I not think about this more much earlier on in my career? Why didn't I do that? You know, I found myself on the same Wikipedia page as R.A.

Sarah, was there anything that you wanted to add from the perspective of the journal and of the Genetic Society?
