Most scientists working with genetic data access neatly prepared N=1000s. But behind every datapoint, there’s a journey. This DNA kit traveled across Europe via my PhD students @magdamatetovici.bsky.social & @madeliefkuijper.bsky.social —before my 6yo bravely tried to fill it with spit

Just back from a lovely research trip to the University of Oslo! Big thanks to the CREATE Center. I shared our research plans in a seminar and took a course on SEM using lavaan & Mplus. Grateful for the insights, the people, and the sunshine Oslo treated us to! ☀️
🦚 Proud of my four PhD students in behavioural genetics and developmental science for their excellent presentations at CREATE at the University of Oslo! Great to have them here—some for a short visit, others for a longer stay—during my sabbatical year.
