Write for us! We're commissioning many more pieces at Works in Progress, and broadening formats too. worksinprogress.news/p/more-article… I'll be commissioning & editing much more on science and global health. Here's a thread of some pieces I'm excited about –

Wonderful testament to the ongoing commitment of the @TedsProject twins that we have received funding for a further 5 years. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Massive shout out to @ElhamAssary for this massive and impressive piece of work, and to our much-missed @Rob_Keers who initiated and led the project.

Researchers @KingsCollegeLon @QMULBartsTheLon @UCLBrainScience have found #genetic factors that may make people more sensitive to the environments they experience. The study in @NatureHumBehav is the largest genetics study of identical #twins to date. 🔗kcl.ac.uk/news/largest-t…

It’s not very often that a speech in Parliament makes me cry but this did. Humanity in politics is very thin on the ground currently so the humanity here is outstanding. Well said & well done for being a decent & empathic MP which is rare @_Chris_Coghlan

Happy to share our new study on genetic & environmental contributors to age-related decline in ~100K UK Biobank participants! @NatureComms Here, we used simulation work + longitudinal GWAS to explore risks involved in cognitive/physical decline (1/)🧵🧵 shorturl.at/99gqL

9/9. In line with transactional models of human development, children evoke and seek out environmental experiences that align with their genetic dispositions, partly based on their non-cognitive characteristics, leading to different learning outcomes.

Modern GWAS can identify 1000s of hits but it can be hard to turn this into biological insight. What key cellular functions link genetic variation to disease? I'm excited to present our new work combining associations + Perturb-seq to build interpretable causal graphs! A🧵

New CoDE Lab preprint led by @QuanZhouu💫. We investigated whether spatial ability consistently predicts STEM success beyond other cognitive skills and what aspects of spatial ability predict success in STEM more accurately. Link: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
