Your Genes Are Simply Not Enough to Explain How Smart You Are Seven years ago, I took a bet with Charles Murray about whether we’d basically understand the genetics of intelligence by now.

In 2018, Charles Murray challenged me to a bet: "We will understand IQ genetically—I think most of the picture will have been filled in by 2025—there will still be blanks—but we’ll know basically what’s going on." It's now 2025, and I claim a win. I write about it in The Atlantic.

My Dobzhansky lecture at BGA: "Theodosius Dobzhansky and the Origins of Radical Behavior Genetics" is publicly available. I talk about the tensions introduced into the field at the difficult border between science using model organisms and human beings. Thanks to BGA for the opportunity.

The New Eugenics Companies Oops, I meant to say generational health and embryo selection

New blog post: The New Eugenics Companies
(Oops, I meant to say generational health and embryo selection)

It makes me wonder
How all faces can be of approximate proportion
But a billion variations.

The same could also be
for thoughts and feelings.
identical matter; varying mind.

The former is acknowledged.
The latter? Hardly appreciated.

Genomic network analysis characterizes genetic architecture and identifies trait-specific biology Pervasive genetic overlap across human complex traits necessitates developing multivariate methods that can parse pleiotropic and trait-specific genetic signals. Here, we introduce Genomic Network Ana...

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

Thanks so much for hosting me and for the insightful questions @camerontellis.bsky.social! Looking forward to an in-person visit to share our recent extensions of this research line

The BGA meeting in Atlanta will now have a hybrid option! 🌍🎥 We've also reopened abstract submissions for 2 weeks, with a hard deadline of March 14, 2025. Join us in person or virtually for a fantastic meeting!

What happens when we break down DSM diagnoses into their individual symptoms and rebuild our classification system from the ground up? Do we see familiar DSM constructs, HiTOP dimensions, or something else entirely?

New paper out today in CPS! ✨ journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Congratulations!

University of Ibadan. Sorry for the delay in response.

Today, I’m proud to say, our new paper on assortative mating was published. This gives me a good oppurtunity to make my first post on bluesky. Here is the link: doi.org/10.1038/s414... , and here are our key findings 🧵:

Can't get a copy here in Nigeria.

It was an excellent learning experience. Glad to have met you, Dr. Abdellaoui!

Great job students and faculty of the International Statistical Genetics Workshop 2024 in Boulder, what an amazing week it was, as always 🧬❤️🍻

Next year it's GWAS and sequence data analysis again, see you then: colorado.edu/ibg/workshop

Yesterday I taught my first lecture at the International Statistical Genetics Workshop (on gene-environment correlation). I'm very grateful to be part of this group!

Leaving the international statistical genetics workshop in Boulder tired, satisfied, impressed by the students, proud of the new faculty and filled with ideas on how to make the workshop even better.

Awesome session, Dan!

Congratulations 🎉

Thank you!

Can I get to see the early version of it?
