One important part of The Dunn Lab culture is to spend time together outside the lab! It was so refreshing to be able to host a recent lab lunch for us to reconnect & share ideas in a different setting - always great for creativity ✨🧪

A quick thread of some great Purdue representation sharing our amazing science at @ispg.bsky.social annual conference #WCPG2025! 🧬 🧠 🧪 First up: @ktnthompson.bsky.social presented work investigating whether family acceptance & belonging mitigate depression risk 👪

Looking for a role between postdoc & faculty? We're hiring TWO Senior Research Scholars at Purdue Indianapolis. You'll lead cutting-edge research on #epigenetics of #depression or using baby teeth for mental health #biomarkers 🧬🦷 Learn more & apply: www.thedunnlab.com/join-the...

Psychologists & related fields: what is a big methods question that you believe remains somewhat unanswered & that you'd love to see adressed? There may be an opportunity for a large-scale meta-science project with many teams trying to figure out a question. Any thoughts welcome! #psychscisky

Not a good look for Indiana Humanities education is super important to a thriving civilization and economy www.chicagotribune.com/2025/07/07/e...

📣 BREAKING NEWS: Harvard sues Trump administration over foreign student ban, calling move unconstitutional and a threat to academic freedom. “Harvard is not Harvard without its international students,” the university writes. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Here is your occasional reminder that The United States has plenty of resources to feed, house, and provide medical care for everyone We have made a choice as a society that, rather than doing that, we would rather allow people to selfishly hoard these resources This is a choice

Is workplace loneliness just about feeling isolated from colleagues, or is there more to it?👨‍⚕️👷‍♀️ In our new paper in SPPE, we found that workplace loneliness goes beyond work relationships + can include disconnection from one’s organisation + society at large🧵 doi.org/10.1007/s00127-025-02925-0

Exclusive: National Science Foundation staff were told today that the agency’s 37 divisions—across all eight directorates—are being abolished and the number of programs within those divisions will be drastically reduced.

The best best best SEM primer out there - it’s free, the bad jokes (mostly) land, and the resources are fantastic - go watch!!

Like so many of the trends of the 1880’s-1920’s, eugenics is on the rise. Scientists have a moral obligation to speak up.

As someone directly affected by this, let me be clear: I'd rather lose my job because Harvard chose to fight than keep my job and see a generation of white supremacists parade its corpse around like a war trophy.

Every time you show up - you inspire 10 more people to do so. #HandsOff says Indiana !!

New — Here is a running list of Dept. of Health and Human Services (HHS) offices that have either been fully eliminated or gutted into non-functionality as a result of today's mass firings (provided to me directly by a CDC staffer):

It looks like HANDS OFF! rallies will be more accessible than women's healthcare on 4/5 and that's just another reason why YOU should show up to one. Stand Up for Science is partnering and you can register at: handsoff2025.com?utm_source=s... #handsoffscience @standupforscience.bsky.social

Indy stood UP @standupforscience.bsky.social #DiversityDrivesInnovation #ScienceSavesLives @rogbryant.bsky.social @gbosslet.bsky.social @ausrob-phd.bsky.social @talk-tara.bsky.social

See you all on the South Lawn of the Indiana statehouse in a few hours @standupforscience.bsky.social

Take a good look at who is speaking out. Grad students are running the biggest science protest because no one else would. Institutions are going to be targeted no matter what we do. Might as well go down fighting.

Message to our European colleagues : we can help you create events in your country / cities.

Censor CDC scientists and ask them to withdraw papers from medical journals? This is not how it works, Mr President. Our response @bmj.com on the Trump Executive Order and his "forbidden words" www.bmj.com/content/388/...

First, this is facism. It's not 'on the path' or 'a worrying precedent'. It's just facism. Second, you cannot do any health or social science research if you ban 'bias', ethnicity', 'race', 'socioeconomic', 'female' etc. That, of course, may be the plan. Fascist regimes don't like social science.

YOU are invited to the launch of the ATLAS of Longitudinal Datasets. A new web-based, searchable platform that maps thousands of longitudinal datasets from research studies around the world. Find out more & book your free place for the launch event here: www.mqmentalhealth.org/atlas-of-lon...

🚨 This will become a curated list of awesome tools for complex trait genetics, **add yours**! it may become a review in which case those who contribute are invited as co-authors.

Just out in @naturehumbehav.bsky.social ! We focused on the causes & impact of self-report error in the UK Biobank. We found that reporting error does not occur at random, is not independent of other participation behaviours, and can complicate the interpretation of GWA findings shorturl.at/N4Qc6

Outreach in psychiatric genetics - What is it? Why do we need it? How can we do it well? Join me, Niamh Ryan, and Cindy Bulik this Friday (6th) at 10am EST / 4pm CET / 3pm UTC where we'll discuss all of this for the PGC (@pgcgenetics.bsky.social) World Wide Lab 🌎 🔗 us02web.zoom.us/j/88690327502

🗺️The Atlas of Longitudinal Datasets, our new @wellcometrust.bsky.social funded research platform designed to increase the discoverability of longitudinal data across the world, is almost ready to launch!
