After maaaany years of hard work (an early, much smaller version was in my PhD thesis!), the preprint of our paper on genetic heterogeneity in the effects of a Swedish schooling reform is out! Here's a thread on the results by the brilliant Rafael Ahlskog

Now out in #PLOSONE : Our paper describing the genetic data we collected in the German Socio-Economic Panel, including 66 polygenic indices that others can use

Again with the right link: We are starting 2024 recruitment for predoctoral RAs working with SSGAC! We do a lot of interesting work, have a lot of fun, and our students have historically continued on to great things. Please RT (RX? Who knows what is going on here anymore...)

Had a nice little chat with Emil and Anaïs Thijssen from Genetics Network Amsterdam about sociogenomics and why we do it

📣📣📣
Anaïs Thijssen and I are starting a monthly series of interviews with geneticists in Amsterdam. These will focus on the interviewee's research, but will occasionally cover current controversies, hot topics, and unsolved problems.

Good morning #eshg2023 !

Looking forward to S03 Application of GWAS in social sciences at 8.30 AM.

We will have 3 great speakers Melinda Mills Aysu Okbay Paul Appelbaum and 25 minutes of roundtable and discussion on the opportunities/challenges when genetics meets social sciences

What is the nature of the relationship between personality and political participation - and how can genetics help inform our investigations of this? New paper out today in Political Psychology! ISPP onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… /1

The #ESSGN 2023 #conference is about to start and I couldn't be more excited about the line-up

The rain decided to pour on us and the logistics are still haunting me, but I am very much looking forward to today and tomorrow

Hi there! I'm recruiting a postdoc for 18 months. Please check this out if you're interested: lnkd.in/gaXpVrRM

This ad is on for Australia-based applicants only. Other positions will open at beginning of next year. Stay tuned!

Nice UCLA Anderson Review article about my research on the genetics of educational attainment, co-led with Alexander Strudwick Young, Jonathan P. Beauchamp, Peter M. Visscher, Loïc Yengo, Patrick Turley, david cesarini , Augustine Kong, and Aysu Okbay : anderson-review.ucla.edu/college-comple…

We had a blast at the Statistical Genetics workshop in Boulder this week. I especially enjoyed learning this great genetics card game 'Breeding Pool' developed by Daniel Gustavson 🧬🃏

New work led by Junming Guan, and presented this morning at #ASHG22 , on novel estimators for family-based GWAS that increase power and robustness: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. We introduce two novel estimators that maximize power for estimating direct effects in different situations. 🧵

Our (me, Ronald de Vlaming and Hyeokmoon Kweon 권혁문) first time offering this course, I think it went pretty well! :)

Today is a big day

Today, we officially release DeSci Nodes in alpha
