Applaus for Dr. Yayouk! She has been awarded the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions. We are really looking forward to her upcoming research on epigenetics and socioeconomic disparities! 👏 👏 👏 mpib-berlin.mpg.de/awards/yayouk-…

Excited to be a part of the science museum #MSWissenschaft “Freedom”. Our “Genetic Pinball” gamifies the interplay between genetics and social inequality in lifecourse outcomes. I was asked: “How do you define freedom?” replied: “To live your genetically influenced preferences”.

Our group at Max Planck Society Harnack Haus for a day of "Science Dreamwork"! What social problem or research theme would you explore if data and methods were of no concern? #MPRGBiosocial

🎉 Congratulations🎉 Laurel Raffington Laurel Raffington, PhD receives the National Institute of Health NIH R01 Grant. The funded project investigates #epigenetic pathways of socioeconomic disparities in physical and cognitive health across the #lifespan. mpib-berlin.mpg.de/awards/laurel-…

Excited to share our new paper 📄! We discuss the use of polygenic scores in self-control research, hoping to enthuse fellow researchers, with or without a background in genetics, to apply genetically sensitive designs too🧬sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

If you're not following the Behavior Genetics Association account yet (Behavior Genetics Association), please do! 🧬🧠🤸🏽 Me and @margotvdweijer will be running it for the time being, sharing BGA updates and summaries of interesting research from their classic journal 📜 RTs appreciated! 🙏🏽

I did a series of video interviews with Nature Portfolio about my work as an academic. Here are the first three parts: - my working day: springernature.com/gp/researchers… - unseen efforts: springernature.com/gp/researchers… - diversity: springernature.com/gp/researchers…

🚨Call for submissions!🚨 We're organizing a special issue on "Behavioral Genetics as a Public Science"🧬🌍 Relevant topics include: -Public outreach and education -(Mis)use and (mis)interpretations of BG research -Ethical, legal, and social issues tinyurl.com/bgpublicscience

Happy to share our new study on genetic & environmental contributors to age-related decline in ~100K UK Biobank participants! Nature Communications Here, we used simulation work + longitudinal GWAS to explore risks involved in cognitive/physical decline (1/)🧵🧵 shorturl.at/99gqL
