Ronald Reagan: "We should beware the dangerous demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy and national security and the entire free world all while cynically waving the flag."

Is there a future for Mendelian randomization? 10th March 11.00 Canadian time, online and in person McGill University, I'll discuss this and why, if I had been better read, I would have used the term "meiotic randomization" rather than "Mendelian randomization" in the initial papers

Super fun to have george davey smith visiting McGill University this week to discuss MR. George says he wants to change the name to Meiotic randomization. But what would happen to his twitter handle?

Does vitamin D prevent MS onset? We have predicted this for years using Mendelian randomization. Here, high-dose vitamin D, in individuals with Clinically Isolated Syndrome in the D-Lay trial is perhaps encouraging. jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

My government is cancelling the capital gains tax hike. We’re going to incentivize builders, innovators, and entrepreneurs to grow their businesses right here in Canada and create more good-paying jobs.    It’s time to build the strongest economy in the G7.

On World Autism Awareness Day, McGill researchers share a breakthrough linking disrupted calcium transport in the brain to autism and intellectual disabilities. 🧠 This discovery sheds new light on brain function and opens the door to future treatments. 🔗 mcgill.ca/x/iS9

Never before has an hour of Presidential rhetoric cost so many people so much. Markets continue to move after my previous tweet. The best estimate of the loss from tariff policy is now is closer to $30 trillion or $300,000 per family of four.

Had a fantastic time in Montreal seeing scientists from both the major universities. Such a great centre for endocrinology, both basic and applied. Thanks to #GeorgeFantus for being such an attentive host.

There are few more engaging, creative and relentless clinician scientists than stephen o'rahilly (its pronounced O-RA-hill-EEE). I enjoyed his visit to McGill University and learning how he unpicked GDF15 as a cause of morning sickness.

The Big Five personality traits definitely have clear genetic determinants. I'm surprised by the lack of spousal assortment and lack of shared environmental confounding though...Anyone care to guess why this is the case? biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
