I’ve decided it’s time to give this publication a new name and identity. What started as The Genetic Pilfer is now officially PifferPilfer (which incidentally is also the blog’s url), with the tagline “Stealing the Code.”
Why the change? The old title felt too narrow and niche. While genetics will always be at the heart of what I write about, this publication has grown into something broader: archaeogenetics, polygenic scores, intelligence and personality, fertility and birth rates, and even the cultural quirks of everyday life - from hiking to coffee and tea.
The new title keeps the playfulness of the original pun, while giving more room for the ideas I want to explore.
I’m excited to keep pilfering fragments of truth - or, as the new tagline puts it, stealing the code.
Thank you for your attention to this matter 😉
