A short-and-sweet guide to developing research questions published in nature. Lots of good advice here 👍

Science is not a contest to be won. It’s a collective pursuit of truth that evolves with evidence - not a debate settled by opinion or the loudest voice.

Interesting new method FLEX for estimating heritability of rare coding variants from exome data (Liu et al. pre-print). Common + low frequency variants explain the vast majority of heritability across twenty traits, as seen in prior work and theory.

The #WCP25 is over. To me, being in the senior leadership of World Psychiatric Association (WPA) wpanet.org, 6 days of limited sleep, exciting science, meeting old and new friends, heated debates, open ears and eyes have come to an end. I am honored to serve an association of a quarter of a million colleagues

15 years in the making, we confirmed that mitochondria -the powerhouse of the cell- have an unusual localization in patients who experience psychosis (including schizophrenia and bipolar disorders). You’ll never guess what kind of patient cells we used to make this discovery...🧵

I’m looking through my Macintosh user guide (the booklet that accompanied my 1984 Macintosh) for the first time in a while, and I’m a little obsessed with this graphic explaining scrolling.

Eric Turkheimer has a good piece about a bet he made with Charles Murray regarding the genetic understanding of IQ (or, really, the lack of it). Murray being so wrong in his prediction should make us question his world model, but it's also worth commenting on his response.

"Instead, it is that the relationship between DNA and IQ is always complex, interactive, and non-determinative. In fact, I think it is a lot like how your parents affected you environmentally." open.substack.com/pub/ericturkhe…
