I am delighted to share that my first paper has just been published in AJMGB 🥳🥳. I would Like to thank my collaborators @neurosoren @BFranke_lab @RM_Nina but most of all @ESprooten for her continued mentorship and Patience (with me) doi.org/10.1002/ajmg.b.32987 a 🧶(1/5)

Climate in motion:
The shifting bell curve ... dancing as the planet overheats.
Building more climate visualizations at Celsius Earth to keep track of our planet's "heart beat" w/EKG and pulse.

This is an absurdly facile critique of the paper. There are lots of methodological choices you could quibble with here, but suggesting, as OP does here, that they didn't address multiple testing concerns is just wrong.
I'm sorry, but I don't believe this result is worth the paper it's printed on. Sure, if you look at trillions of combinations and don't correct for that, you'll find associations, purely by chance. But they got the NYT headline, didn't they? nytimes.com/2026/09/03/scien…

Thanks @Lotte_Lambrecht for the interview in the Belgian @destandaard. We discuss the complex relationship between DNA, behavior, and society, racist pseudoscience from people like @nathancofnas & @KirkegaardEmil, and polygenic embryo selection.

New preprint on a controversial topic:
Through which socioeconomic mechanisms do individuals with higher genetic predisposition for educational attainment end up with higher income over their working life?
We study this using uniquely rich Finnish data.

New publication! @BiologicalPsyc1
We expand on our prior work demonstrating that pleiotropic effects of cognitive GWAS can provide biological insights into schizophrenia GWAS results. We differentiated "concordant" from "discordant" subsets of schizophrenia risk SNPs (1/3)

In every civilization, people end up sorted into levels of socio-economic status (SES). We explore the history, present, and future of scientific research on the complicated relationship between SES and DNA in @NatureHumBehav 💰🧬🎓

I think this JAMA article from last week received insufficient attention - different computations of PRS for the same disease, despite nearly identical population performance, resulted in very different classifications at the individual level

Glad to share our work on antidepressant switching with UK Biobank on #WCPG2024 , and has garnered loads of interest!
Many thanks for @ISPGnet for offering us the opportunity to share our work and supervision from @cathrynlewis @michelleukamp for making this work possible.
Great talk by @chrislowh on the final day of #WCPG2024 mood disorder session discussing SRRI switching, it’s current utility and future prospects. @ISPGnet @SGDPCentreKCL
