How do nature, nurture, and their interplay drive inequality? 🧬🧠💰 New PhD position in social science genetics at @amsterdamumc.bsky.social and @vuamsterdam.bsky.social. Your supervisors will be: Titus Galama, Aysu Okbay, and me. Apply by 21 July: workingat.vu.nl/vacancies/ph... Please share!

Another episode with @dr-appie.bsky.social because who else brings a laptop to a deserted island?

In this week's episode, we talk to @laurawesseldijk.bsky.social about genetics, musicality, metal, mental health. But more importantly, we finally uncover @dr-appie.bsky.social's secret music career and learn about Laura's childhood playing trombone on a horse while doing a headstand??

@rafaelahlskog.bsky.social and I talked to @eivindy.bsky.social in Oslo about old and new results in personality genetics. Also learnt @eivindy.bsky.social was born but maybe not raised to be an activist :)

Come work with me and @dr-appie.bsky.social in Amsterdam!

Of assortative mating, bow ties and more. Give it a listen!

The abstract submission deadline has been extended until the end of this week (March 8)!

Me and @aysuo.bsky.social went to Berlin to talk to @laraffington.bsky.social about all things epigenetics. Some really cool stuff here!

Apologies to everyone who asked me who's next and heard a different name 😅 I clearly have no idea what I'm doing and this is all happening thanks to Rafael

Me and @aysuo.bsky.social talk to @sjoerdalten.bsky.social about economics and genetics. And we get some book recommendations. Neat!

The ESSGN conference is in beautiful Bologna again this year. Abstract submission is open!

Me and @aysuo.bsky.social did a thing. Give it a listen!

Excited to share our preprint on PGI portability across ancestries—now on bioRxiv. With co-authors @aysuo.bsky.social, @paturley.bsky.social, @alextisyoung.bsky.social, and @Dan_J_Benjamin. Preprint: doi.org/10.1101/2025... Thread below for details.

PGI Repository v2.0 preprint out! A 🧵 on the main results and updates @robel-alemu.bsky.social @paturley.bsky.social @alextisyoung.bsky.social

Preprint just out about the genetically heterogenous effects of an early childhood intervention in Colombia. Key findings below. Come see my talk at #ESSGN Bristol if you wanna hear more!

A great opportunity to work with @alextisyoung.bsky.social if you're interested in methods development!

So happy to finally see this paper out in @natcomms.nature.com. rdcu.be/ehQsd “Correcting for volunteer bias in GWAS increases SNP effect sizes and heritability estimates”. A thread on our findings!

🔊Next conference of the European Social Science Genetics Network (ESSGN) in Bristol, 22-23 May. ✅Keynote by @michellemeyer.bsky.social ✅Panel on the current frontier of MR w/ George Davey-Smith (Bristol), Dalton Conley (Princeton), and Alice Carter (Novo-Nordisk). essgn.org/essgn-confer...
