Today marks the start of our IMPRS on the Life Course (LIFE) course on 'Genetics, Social Inequality, and Development' with these fantastic speakers 🌟

How does he think it feels to live here? I don't even dare wear clothes in case I get mugged. I just wander round nude with my Oyster card jammed up my arse.

Excited to share my first PhD publication at #MPRGBiosocial with Laurel Raffington, PhD ! 🚨📜

🧬📚 We examined geographical and historical differences in polygenic associations with educational attainment in East and West Germany around reunification🧬🏛️

As an avid fan of biomarker research 💦🧬🩸, I like to think about how we can leverage existing and to-be-created biomarkers for science and society. New #MPRGBiosocial publication in @nature_NPJ Science of Learning 🔗 link.springer.com/article/10.103…

My lab is looking for postdocs excited about questions in population, evolutionary and quantitative genetics. Please reach out; informal inquiries most welcome. I was not able to attend #TAGC24 / #PEQG24 myself, but some stellar colleagues are there to chat about our work:

Excited to share AllofUsResearch program’s flagship genomics paper describing 245,388 clinical-grade genome sequences encompassing >1 billion genetic variants published today in nature

Huge thanks to Vsevolod Scherrer, Elliot Tucker-Drob, and Franzis Preckel for their invaluable contributions!
APA Journals

There is an opening for a postdoc in my lab at UT Austin to work in the areas of statistical genetics and mental health and/or cognitive aging. Funding is in place. Our recent work can be found at lifespanlab.com. Please feel to email me directly. [email protected]

Individual genetic variants (but not genome-wide genetic correlations) can help distinguish otherwise equivalent looking trait factors. 👇

🚨 New paper!
In this review, we explore factor indeterminacy and outline how we can use genetic data to test the validity of latent factors.

🧬🧠 Check out our latest preprint on the genetics of impulsivity! medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

In this paper, we examined ‘lumping’ versus ‘splitting’ models of impulsivity and characterized the shared and unique biology across multiple levels.

A few key findings below! 🧵

Fresh New Genomic SEM functionality! Simulating sumstats from lavaan models and parallel analysis (genomics version). I'm mega biased here, but the work Javier's been up to is absolutely brilliant.

🧬 Exciting Updates in Genomic SEM Package! 🧬
We're thrilled to announce that two incredible new functions are now available in the Genomic SEM package. Let's dive into what these functions do and where to find tutorials for them. 🧵👇

I'm delighted to release the first half of my new open-access online textbook in human population genetics:
