Great to speak to the Today programme this morning about our research - making the case that Andy Burnham is right to be ambitious for growth and devolution in rural and coastal areas too.
Listen from 25:20 here: bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m002z5…
I could have added: 1/
Two years ago Labour promised a “devolution revolution” to drive growth. Today, with @edballs, Nyasha Weinberg, @annastansbury and @ElsdenEsme, we publish our verdict: a government at risk of squandering the best opportunity in a generation. A🧵 hks.harvard.edu/centers/mrcb…

The last two years have been a missed opportunity on regional growth: our Harvard-Kings paper sets out why; and what @andyburnham needs to do differently to deliver the growth the UK needs.. @DanTurnerTweets @annastansbury @ElsdenEsme Nyasha Weinberg

Our new paper using longitudinal data from 8 countries to answer questions about economic circumstances and adolescent mental health in Lancet Psychiatry today.
Massive effort led by Tom to carefully curate & analyse data from very different countries. Please do take a look!
Our new cross-country paper. How economic inequalities in adolescents' mental health differ across countries, using longitudinal data. Now published in the Lancet Psychiatry thelancet.com/journals/lanps… (1/9)

How does social isolation overlap with mental health problems in young people?
Our new paper tested longitudinal genetic and environmental influences that are shared and specific to these experiences in the @ERiskstudy #OpenAccess

Depression and anxiety aren't single conditions. New research identifies 6 different biotypes that vary in brain circuit activation, symptoms, and reactions.
Some respond better to therapy; others to medication.
Mental health isn't one-size-fits-all. Neither are treatments.

Last week The Atlantic featured an article on the rising popularity of race/IQ science on the right (theatlantic.com/technology/a…). The obvious point that "intelligence is not like height" sparked an unusual amount of whinging. I wrote about how this is now more true than ever. 🧵

I wrote about some recent studies identifying widespread gene-environment interactions (GxE) acting on common traits, but through an unexpected mechanism. A few highlights 🧵:

UK growth needs regional growth. Regional growth needs funding, and governance reform. Labour's manifesto offers more than meets the eye on English devolution. But it's softer on some of the investments and levers that will make the difference (buses!!) 1/9

Come visit my poster (P18.040.C) today at ESHG, 1-2pm #ESHG2024
I’m happy to discuss all things bullying victimisation, its associations and correlations with psychiatric and associated traits using genetically informed designs 🧬
