“But humble-bees alone …” - quote from Darwin to show the tense and dynamic connectedness that holds life in place. Used to unpack ideas of Heraclitus in an astoundingly and mesmerizingly beautiful book - Life Between the Tides by @adamnicols. Summer reading for life. 😍

🎉Exciting news! Our lab's first paper, "Vocal labeling of others by nonhuman primates," is now published in @Science! 🐒 Dive into our findings on how marmoset monkeys use vocal labels similar to human names and dialects. Check it out! 1/6 science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

1/ Very happy to share our review in molecularpsychiatry , together with Jonathan Sebat, Sebastien Jacquemont and Raphael Bourque: rdcu.be/dSupc The role of genetic testing is shifting from explaining to predicting neurodevelopmetal and neuropsychiatric conditions.

Curious about human brain development through an animal model? 🧠🐒Check out our new preprint on Brain Charts of the Rhesus Macaque Lifespan! We've mapped normative trajectories for macaque brains using 1.5k MRI scans from PRIME-DE and collaborators! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

New addition to the Laboratory of Neurogenetics starting October 2024. Anyone interested in coming to NIA to work with a fantastic new PI who I am confident will be rising star in the next few years!!

📢!!! training position of a lifetime alert !!!📢. Alex is a truly brilliant scientist, stellar mentor and all round wonder of a human being. Defo check this out if you’re into omics approaches to human brain diversity through a genius Evo lens. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️

Excited to have this piece in JAMA Psychiatry with Dan Mathalon, outlining our thoughts on how to bring neuroimaging biomarkers into clinical care in psychiatry. We outline the key attributes biomarkers must have, pointing out that EEG is best placed. A 🧵 jamanetwork.com/journals/jamap…

Excited to share our new work on the common and rare variant genetic architecture of cognitive ability across childhood and adolescence, using data from Children of the 90s, UCL Centre for Longitudinal Studies, and UK Biobank. medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Another new fake Archie cover based on a song I like. This time The Breeders' Cannonball.

Big news: I’m soon starting as Professor and Lyda M. Ludeman Endowed Chair in Bioinformatics in Women’s Health Research in the Dept of Biomedical Informatics CU Anschutz Medical Campus.

Listen...the drip is the drip, no matter the temp.

For nearly 2 decades, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) “genome-wide” association studies only covered the autosomes. Today we unveil the X chromosome and prioritize SLC9A7, a.k.a. NHE7, as an AD risk gene. Article: jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… Editorial: jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Come on in and join us ! Konrad and I have a fully-funded 4 yr PhD-ship open thru the super NIMH-UCL (D.C/London) graduate program partnership (shorturl.at/Qr5uq). Bridge Macro<-> views of 🧠 wt neuroimaging & omics (e.g. shorturl.at/W2cgo). Pls DM/apply ! 😃

🚨 Exciting opportunity!🚨 Come and work with Armin Raznahan and me on genes, brains and neurodevelopment🧠🧬. If you're interested - get in touch!
