Being A Morning Person Linked To Higher Anorexia Risk, Study Finds

📢 New paper from Hassan S Dashti's team, led by Hannah Wilcox - our novel findings suggest a strong bidirectional relationship between #anorexianervosa & being a morning person. Thank you for letting us be a part of this fantastic work 🤓🧠😴🧬

We finally did a little thing together! 😁 The link is here: bmcmedgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

📢 New comment paper w/the brilliant Dr Emma Anderson in BMC Series #BMCMedicalGenomics where we compare #Mendelianrandomisation & #Polygenicriskscores . Thanks to Chloe Park 💙 for the lovely graphic in Fig 1 too. 🤓👏

Somvai is an exciting startup based in Oxford, who have just launched their Kickstarter campaign today for their non-invasive, subscription-free, portable napping technology: rb.gy/zb8l6y #naps #sleep #productivity

📢New paper out on genetic instrument selection in Mendelian randomisation sleep studies, led by the brilliant Valentina Paz & fantastic co-authors Hassan S Dashti & Stephen Burgess! Really enjoyed working on this one w/you all.

👏🤓great work, Cristian Topriceanu, MD 🇷🇴🇬🇧!

New research 📣📄Multivariable Mendelian randomisation study in >350k UKB participants found that on average over a lifetime, greater adiposity may increase grip strength but effects vary by sex and adiposity location… 1/4

Delighted to announce that a (partly) in-person Mendelian randomization conference will be back post-pandemic, in as-always sunny & friendly Bristol. 19 -21 June 2024. Look forward to seeing everyone there! On line available for those for whom needs must mendelianrandomization.org.uk
