Razib Khan was a PhD candidate in genetics at UC Davis - https://www.linkedin.com/mwlite/in/razibkhan https://www.linkedin.com/mwlite/in/razibkhan , he’s pretty qualified to speak on genetics IMO.

- cauthon 4y agoHe has no first-author publications that aren't op-eds [1], and no publications whatsoever from his time at UC Davis. Since dropping out afaict he's done no relevant academic or industry work. I'm skeptical of his qualifications over any other bio undergrad. fwiw, I don't think credentialism is the strongest signal here. The larger disqualifying factor is his history of crank takes and writing for anti-semitic and alt-right blogs.
