Now published in Nature Mental Health!
nature.com/articles/s44220-0…
Main difference since the first preprint was posted: we now have results for #autism as well! Results are similar to Bipolar and OCD 🧵👇
New preprint! 🎉
Is educational attainment causally associated with mental health?
We compare EA and psychiatric diagnoses of 1.7M Dutch siblings, and we check if Mendelian randomization analyses tell us the same story.
Spoiler: not always! 😱

We're looking for a student assistant to join our project!👫🧬 You have a background in education and speak both Dutch and English? Come work with us!😊 evanbergen.com/wp-content/up…

#AcademicJob My educational-genetics lab @NTRscience @VUamsterdam is looking for a student at a 🇳🇱 uni with expertise in 🇳🇱 primary school education, who wants to join our lab for 0.2fte for 18mo. With @Madeliefkuijper @_StarrAlexandra @brunosauce 😀

We are recruiting a PhD candidate in the GenEd project! "Why do educational difficulties run in families? Genetically sensitive observational and intervention research on home learning environment" @drElsje @lervag finn.no/job/fulltime/ad.html…
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!

A couple of videos discussing our latest paper on the association between non-cognitive skills and academic achievement across development:

Out today in @NatureHumBehav: Genetic associations between non-cognitive skills and academic achievement over development nature.com/articles/s41562-0…
@QMUL @QM_SBBS @uclnews A detailed thread👇

La baja propensión genética a las habilidades (no)cognitivas afecta - al logro educativo de los estudiantes de clase alta. Un estudio de gemelos interdisciplinar entre sociólogos (@GaiaGhirardi @KarlosJ89 Bernardi) y psicólogas (@PerlineDemange @drElsje)👇

New paper! 🥳 I had so much fun working on this interdisciplinary project, and proud it is part of @GaiaGhirardi's great thesis!
This started from a chat with @KarlosJ89 during online ECSR in 2020, proof that online conferences can lead to collaboration too. 😃
First publication of my thesis is out w/ this fantastic & interdisciplinary team: @KarlosJ89, F. Bernardi, @drElsje, @PerlineDemange!✨
Do parents' SES moderate the link between genetic propensity for (non)cognitive skills and education?
Open access: doi.org/10.1016/j.rssm.2024.…
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?
Very curious to hear more in the future about @KTNThompson and @geurgas extending tools developed for genomics to environmental/neighborhood variables and reverse. Some of the most innovative talks I heard!
Sad to have missed out on my colleagues parallel symposium, including Sverre Ofstad presenting on sex differences in educational outcomes and @RosaCheesman her new GWAS of fields of study nitter.cf/RosaCheesman/status/18…
And ending with dinner in another beautiful venue, with an inspiring speech by @ValerieKnopik on the power of mentorship 🙌
.@TabeaSchoeler is expanding her work on participation bias in UKB to reporting bias, and this will for sure be another classic study
The ethics symposium introduced me to many new concepts, gonna need to read more 🤓 @lucasjmatthews @AaronPanofsky @EvanGiangrande @daphmarts nitter.cf/Joni_Coleman/status/18…
I am finally taking the time to let what I learn at #BGA2024 sink in, so here is a far-from-exhaustive list of the cool new stuff I saw in London!
(First cool thing: the view from the venue!)
.@thaliaeley presented @ElhamAssary’s GWAS of MZ twins, a clever way to identify variants associated with environmental sensitivity
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article…
.@magdalena_u_j told us about diverse family designs to study link between parental perinatal health and child autism, interesting work using cousin comparison medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

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! @BehaviorGenetic #ESSGN #MSCA

Massive congratulations to @RosaCheesman (also a @TedsProject twin!) and @OlakunleOginni for winning the 2024 early career award from @BehaviorGenetic association. So well deserved 👏👏👏 @SGDPCentreKCL
