Congratulations!
Looks like a nice resource:
* Array genetic data for 80,638 Japanese children
* 1,163 child health and developmental traits (e.g. food allergy, anthropometric, developmental)
* Parental environmental exposures

If you missed the last ten years of behaviour genetics you can pretty much catch up on everything by reading all his blogposts.
What’s wrong with it?
Diagnostic categories in mental health do not distinguish people or brains "Our results did not support the validity of existing diagnostic labels of ASD, ADHD, and OCD as distinct entities with respect to phenotype and cortical morphology." www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Are there any good blogposts or commentaries on the 2025 depression gwas?
Thoughtful piece by Greg Gibson pushing strongly back on the "Heritable polygenic editing" article

RIP, David Lynch. Truly one of the great weirdoes in film and television history.
Unironically yeah, long live David Lynch 🕊️
A Green New Deal makes sense if you’re in a recession, but a full employment economy needs a different approach to energy and prosperity.

The Dimensional Turn in Psychopathology: Q&A with Robert F. Krueger
“Everything we try as a field ends up illustrating how murky and complex the origins of psychopathology tend to be.”

Who likes categories anyway?
I wonder what this means for the concept of "areas"...

Very glad to be invited at this Conference!
Royal Society of Medicine,6-7 March
"After Kraepelin: Ambitions, Images, Practices and the History of Psychiatry 1926-2026"
I'll discuss the role of social values and collective emotions in the making of Asperger diagnosis

I tried this BTW but while I approached both men and women, and both groups considered it, the men took me up on the offer, or volunteered (which is great!!). I decided I am not going forward if I can’t keep balance… ( pls volunteer!). This chat with eiko last yr is what I have in mind, sorta…
Good resource. A well-written op-ed can sometimes end up as impactful as a full paper...
I’d definitely watch that, especially something on how valid Mendelian randomisation studies are for traits in which the gwas is pretty weak.
Truth nuke
Last work tweet of 2024 (maybe 😉): I, Ken Kendler, Brad Verhulst, @jorsmo.bsky.social and @andrewgrotzinger.bsky.social et al in the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium Cross Disorder Group (PGC-CDG) wrote a review on challenges studying cross disorder (psych) genetics: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Now published (Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews):
"Relational neuroscience: Insights from hyperscanning research"
We introduce #RelationalNeuroscience as a framework for research on inter-brain dynamics.
We state that #hyperscanning is the prime methodology informing Relational Neuroscience.
I wrote about how polygenic heritable conditions present in families and the liability threshold model. This has some counterintuitive implications for considering the risk of a condition in offspring as well as the impact of multi-generational selection. A 🧵:
Trout-in-the-milk level of uncertainty
You've heard of DNA, but what about GNA? Very excited about this preprint with @jgthorp.bsky.social and others that introduces Genomic Network Analysis (GNA), an open-source multivariate tool for performing network analysis using GWAS summary statistics as input. 1/2

Smart study to test whether lower prediction accuracy in non-Europeans is due to between-population differences in population structure, genetic nurture, or assortative mating.
Defund the healthcare
Fluctuating number of fingers aside yeah
