Free webinar: Hope you'll join us for this discussion of the important topic of grief and suicide loss.

We're excited to have a great speaker line up for our 6/17 talk! @samaritanshope.bsky.social #SuicidePrevention #SuicideResearch #GriefSupport #SuicideLossSurvivor Register for FREE today 👇👇 bit.ly/4myP4s4

New preprint! We investigate the risk of algorithmic bias (across race/ethnicity, gender, and their intersection) in machine learning models predicting suicide attempts across 3 clinical settings in over 1.2 million patients. osf.io/preprints/ps...

Our multi-ancestry GWAS of EXTernalizing conditions (ADHD, substance use...) in ~4M people reveals neurodevelopmental risk, drug-repurposing targets, and yields one of the strongest psychiatric polygenic indices yet! 🧬🎉 doi.org/10.64898/202...

4/4 A HUGE 🙏thank you to the @pgcgenetics.bsky.social working groups and participants and amazing co-authors, with special shoutout to Josefin Werme, Wouter Peyrot, Alex Frei, Christiaan de Leeuw, Lucy Bicks, Ken Kendler, and @jorsmo.bsky.social. This work reflects collaboration at its best ❤️🧬

Great thread Paul. This comment in particular caught my eye--I had never thought to calculate this in planning for lab's funding but its very helpful (and daunting since this is the status quo and as you suggest, things may get much harder).
