Absolutely surreal to have our work on the genetics of the Big Five personality traits published in @Nature! Check out the paper below
Our genetic association study of the Big Five personality traits (extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness to experience) came out in @Nature today, check it out here (open access): nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

There are two common misconceptions in psychology that go hand in hand: 1) that you need loads of (usually repetitive) items to measure the same construct and 2) that you cannot use direct language when asking about that construct. We argue both of them below 🙂↕️👇

Biggest and most comprehensive GWAS of the Big Five personality traits just dropped! Thrilled to be part of this 🔥🙏
The ReGPC presents comprehensive GWAS of the Big Five personality in N=611K-1.14M and within-family GWAS in N=51K. In contrast to many other social/behav traits, pop GWAS of personality almost entirely reflect direct genetic effects. doi.org/10.1101/2025.05.16.6…

The dignity of this brave statement from Conservative MP Jamie Wallis stands in stark contrast to the Prime Minister's cheap gag at the same event last night.

NEW: I’m not sure people appreciate quite how bad the Covid situation is in Hong Kong, nor what might be around the corner.
First, an astonishing chart.
After keeping Covid at bay for two years, Omicron has hit HK and New Zealand, but the outcomes could not be more different.

Most significantly, we can now show for the first time that not only is a Covid infection less lethal than flu at the population level, it is slightly lower *even for the elderly* (and significantly less lethal for young adults).
