With sequencing of Hitler's DNA making headlines, time for a reminder: analysing a polygenic score from a dead historically-significant figure won't give new insights into that person's behaviour. In a brief paper last year, we used Beethoven's genome to directly illustrate the fallacies involved.🧪👇

We did a thing. 😬

Happy to share Jialin's first publication. She did a great job exploring the transition to land in animals. Co-supervised by the great Jordi Paps and me and in collaboration with Davide Pisani and @phil-donoghue.bsky.social

The link between the gut #microbiome and autism is not backed by science, researchers say. Read the full opinion piece in @cp-neuron.bsky.social: spkl.io/63322AbxpA#microbiome @wiringthebrain.bsky.social, @statsepi.bsky.social, & @deevybee.bsky.social

“Our impression is that autism-microbiome research is an example of a field that has generated its own momentum, without necessarily going anywhere.”

“Critically assessing the literature, we found it beset by conceptual & methodological flaws & limitations, undermining claims that the gut microbiome is causally involved in etiology/pathophysiology of autism” Crucial PSA from @wiringthebrain.bsky.social @statsepi.bsky.social @deevybee.bsky.social🧪

🌟It’s that time of the year! Nominate Europe-based students or PIs advancing #diversity #equity & #inclusion in #neuroscience. The winner will be celebrated at #FENS2026 in Barcelona, receiving €2000 + travel support to attend the meeting. Self nominations are welcome! 👉🏾 loom.ly/elEwkCE 📅 8 Jan 2026
