Personality GWAS finally done well! Massive worldwide collaboration, including @estbiobank.bsky.social personality team: @renemottus.bsky.social @arealo.bsky.social @urmovosa.bsky.social.
Special guest star
@kerliilv.bsky.social who ran the causal models between personality and health!
Cognitive slowness and disjointedness that often come with aging might be better seen as a symptom of a brain full of 'cluttered' wisdom rather than a sign of decline.
Thanks so much @thomhills.bsky.social at @warwickpsych.bsky.social for giving us all some hope that it's not all lost as we age! 😊
Not sure how I feel about this, or the Swedes

Apply by 16th April and be part of shaping a more sustainable future 🌏
No neid võimalusi on palju, nt
*hoia ennast hõivatuna ja tegele asjadega, mis sulle meeldivad – mistahes hobid, aiatöö, sport;
*märka ja aita teisi inimesi enda ümber;
*investeeri sotsiaalsetesse suhetesse, suhtle vanade sõpradega ja ole ka uuteks tutvusteks avatud;
*võta endale koduloom 🙂
"Starost ne radost" niiehknii, aga üksildased vanainimesed on teistest veelgi õnnetumad ja haigemad. Niiet lapsed ja lapselapsed on tõesti üks viis – kuigi kindlasti mitte ainus – kuidas seda vältida.

Population projections for Scandinavia and the Baltics for 2100, with two scenarios: one with migration and one without. Among EU countries, only Latvia and Lithuania (as well as Romania) would see little impact from closed borders, as they have experienced a net outflow of people

Estonia in 2025 vs 1937: Still interesting, but no longer inexpensive
08.02.2025 15:30 — 👍 16 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Jah, aga üldiselt võttes on regionaalsed erinevused suhteliselt väikesed, ehk et Eesti inimeste isiksuse seadumused on üsna sarnased hoolimata sellest kus nad elavad

📣It's official now! I’m both excited and a little apprehensive about this amazing opportunity and challenge. The workload will be split 50-50 between Warwick and Tallinn, so I’ll be spending a bit more time in Estonia than I have over the past ten years.
