Very exciting to see some uptake of our tripartite characterization of the missing heritability problem. Is the new genetics of education moving too fast? @ent3c Cecile Janssens

FoGS is the result of a collaboration b/t Lucas J. Matthews , Daphne Martschenko, PhD, Sam Trejo, and Ben Domingue. It is graciously hosted by The Hastings Center for Bioethics - which focuses on the ethical issues within health, science, and technology to create a better public understanding of #bioethics

Excited about tomorrow's session, "Expanding The Frontier Between Philosophy Of Science And Bioethics"! We've had a schedule change. I will still begin at 9 am but will have a bit longer talk and Q&A, as we've lost our second speaker 1/2 psa2022.dryfta.com/program-schedu…

Next up: Lucas J. Matthews joint paper with Jim Tabery on thinking thru "controversial" science and consideration of tradeoffs between potential harms and value of research: from historical examples thru to today's GWAS. Columbia University Bioethics The Hastings Center for Bioethics

New entry alert! Shai Carmi and team provide more insight into Ashkenazi history, and potential origins of genetic diseases associated with modern Jewish populations: thehastingscenter.org/genomic-findin…

My first ever collaboration with my first ever Research Assistant, Natalie White. We put together a collection regarding the genomics of education, in education: elsihub.org/collection/gen…

Ready or not, polygenic prediction is here: undark.org/2023/10/27/con…

Bravo: "Polygenic scores (PGS) are increasingly being used for prediction of social and behavioral traits, but suffer from many methodological, theoretical, and ethical concerns that profoundly limit their value" escholarship.org/uc/item/3bt5h7…

I am proud to take full responsibility for organizing this meltdown-inducing session at BGA.

Nice piece by my colleague Lucas J. Matthews on the ethical implications of the geneticization of education now out in the Cambridge Quarterly of Healthcare Ethics bit.ly/48HwWVO

I'm really excited that this piece just came out. Are you ready for the geneticization of education? cambridge.org/core/journals/…
