I like what is becoming a yearly tradition: last-minute preparation for ESSGN conference in a beautiful location 🤩

First time attending #BGA2024. Completed the first day with so many amazing and inspiring talks. I am grateful to everyone who came by my poster with good questions and suggestions. Looking forward to the next two days of BGA streams! Behavior Genetics Association #ESSGN #MSCA

Massive congratulations to Dr Rosa Cheesman (also a TEDS twin!) and Olakunle Oginni for winning the 2024 early career award from Behavior Genetics Association association. So well deserved 👏👏👏 SGDP Centre KCL

#BGA2024 with colleagues, friends and mentors.

How did you end up in your field of study?🧑‍🎨👩‍🔬We explored genetic links with 10 fields of education in >460k ppl. We found overlapping genetic influences on different fields, summarised by 2 key tendencies: Technical v Social and Creative v Conformist. osf.io/preprints/psya… 1/4

Mendelian randomization users, what should I call a polygenic score created for and used with MR? I find PGS/PGI confusing to newcomers as not all ways of creating a PGS will do. Would it be clearer to call this score an allelic score instead? Or something else?

New paper! 🥳 I had so much fun working on this interdisciplinary project, and proud it is part of Gaia Ghirardi's great thesis! This started from a chat with Carlos J. Gil during online ECSR in 2020, proof that online conferences can lead to collaboration too. 😃

We had an amazing Oslo social science genetics conference last week! This was the perfect mix of accessible and high quality scientific talks, with a very diverse crowd. Thank you to all presenters, all attendees and organizers for this success. Hopefully see you next year!
