Very proud to say our Registered Report supporting a causal relationship between age at menarche and adolescent depression is now published in BMC Medicine. Link: shorturl.at/dFKTY. This was a big team effort spanning the duration of my PhD! A🧵on the process and findings:

Stor stas! Andreas Moxnes ved Økonomisk institutt og Vegard Skirbekk ved Psykologisk institutt får hvert sitt prestisjefulle Advanced Grant på 26 millioner kroner fra European Research Council (ERC). Det utgjør en fjerdedel av alle Advanced Grant fra ERC gitt til Norge i år. sv.uio.no/om/aktuelt/akt…

GeoGen workshop day 1 was a huge success thanks to our excellent host, Rufus, who graciously took a selfie of himself while blurring the rest of us in the background. 🐾🐕 ⁦Eivind Ystrøm⁩ ⁦Perline Demange⁩ ⁦Dr. Ziada Ayorech (she/her) 🌈⁩ 😅😂🤣

Today, I’m proud to say, our new paper on assortative mating was published in Nature Communications. (Link: doi.org/10.1038/s41467…). Here are our key findings 🧵:
