Looking for an *amazing* postdoc supervisor? 👀
Excellent opportunity with the one and only @jessiebaldwin.bsky.social

I'm hiring! ✨ Looking for a Research Fellow to study environmental factors that mitigate intergenerational transmission of mental health.

3-year post at UCL @uclbrainscience.bsky.social with great opportunities for training, collaboration & exciting science!

New paper out at the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science!

We examined unconditional & event-related changes in pathological vs normal-range personality using 4 metrics to compare their developmental links, how these vary with life events, and whether unique effects emerge across metrics

I'm looking for a PhD student to do some trailblazing at the frontier of personality genomics and lifespan gene-environment transactions (start Fall 2026)! If you want to work with me: psychology.msu.edu/graduatestud...
(PS @drmeltemyucel.bsky.social is taking a student too, in moral psych/dev!)

BIG PREPRINT🔬

In a newly founded consortium we show that we barely know anything about the neurobiology underlying emotion regulation capacity! (40 fmri samples, N=2175)

So, time-out for prefrontal cortex explanations!

And we also show why this might be the case 🧵

An updated preprint of our Borderline Personality Disorder GWAS is now online:
www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

🚨 Our parent-of-origin study is out in Nature! 🧬
Maternal and paternal alleles can have distinct — even opposite — effects on human traits, revealing a hidden layer of genetic architecture that standard GWAS miss.

🔔Paper alert! Extremely excited to share a preprint from our lab! Spearheaded by @axel-schmidt.bsky.social, a super talented medical & computational geneticist, we studied latent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection at population-scale.

Interested in how this works & what we found? Read along! 👇

Our project, looking at the genetic relationships between immune diseases and psychiatric disorders, has finally been published! Now with gene expression analyses as well as additional sensitivity analyses, thanks to reviewers. Find the full article here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

PhD position in my group at @fau.de, as part of my @erc.europa.eu Consolidator project PAR2. German is not essential but an interest in social science genetics would be great! Sharing would be much appreciated ❤️

🚨New preprint is out!

How do genetic effects on complex traits change with age? In this work, we compare different approaches to obtain age-varying genetic effects, and show how design and modeling choices can impact the conclusions we draw.

While the world watches Israel's war with Iran, Netanyahu's extremist government continues to starve and massacre Palestinians in Gaza.

Today, Israeli forces again opened fire on people desperately trying to collect food aid, killing dozens. Over 56,000 have been killed so far.

Looking for your next research position? We're recruiting two genetic epidemiologists to work on two projects at the Division of Psychiatry at UCL, part of the growing UCL Human Genomics group.

Thanks @eivindy.bsky.social! My first foray into the mysterious world of #SelectionBias. Very happy to receive feedback, and to discuss opportunities for improving/expanding this work!

Productive week @eivindy.bsky.social!
Glad to see this one out @chrisrayner.bsky.social, super useful!

🧵 THREAD: Preprint from @chrisrayner.bsky.social reveals how to fix selection bias in the Norwegian #MoBa study using population-wide registry data! For the first time, we can quantify and adjust for selection bias in this major epidemiological resource.

Spread the good news!
