THM: "Parental education correlated .31 with children’s school-achievement scores; this correlation was due to substantial genetic (68%) and smaller parental-environmental (12%) and extended-family environmental (20%) contributions"

🤩Excited to share our new study in @Nature @SciReports!
We've developed machine learning models that predicted upper secondary school dropout as early as the end of primary school.

ICYMI: New paper in @Nature Mental Health, showing that more years of education may protect from psychiatric problems. Based on N=1.7M and global genetic information.

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! 😱
