First time attending #BGA2024. Completed the first day with so many amazing and inspiring talks. I am grateful to everyone who came by my poster with good questions and suggestions. Looking forward to the next two days of BGA streams! Behavior Genetics Association #ESSGN #MSCA

Massive congratulations to @RosaCheesman (also a TEDS twin!) and Olakunle Oginni for winning the 2024 early career award from Behavior Genetics Association association. So well deserved 👏👏👏 SGDP Centre KCL

Me after learning about collider bias

Mendelian randomization users, what should I call a polygenic score created for and used with MR? I find PGS/PGI confusing to newcomers as not all ways of creating a PGS will do. Would it be clearer to call this score an allelic score instead? Or something else?

La baja propensión genética a las habilidades (no)cognitivas afecta - al logro educativo de los estudiantes de clase alta. Un estudio de gemelos interdisciplinar entre sociólogos (Gaia Ghirardi Carlos J. Gil Bernardi) y psicólogas (Perline Demange Dr Elsje van Bergen)👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.rssm…

New paper! 🥳 I had so much fun working on this interdisciplinary project, and proud it is part of Gaia Ghirardi's great thesis! This started from a chat with Carlos J. Gil during online ECSR in 2020, proof that online conferences can lead to collaboration too. 😃

We had an amazing Oslo social science genetics conference last week! This was the perfect mix of accessible and high quality scientific talks, with a very diverse crowd. Thank you to all presenters, all attendees and organizers for this success. Hopefully see you next year!
