If someone you know buys into claims about "genetic optimization" of embryos using polygenic scores of cognition, just send them our 2024 paper on Beethoven & musicality. We wrote it to help communicate limits of individual-level genetic predictions & complexity of links between DNA & behaviour. 🧪👇
Notes from Beethoven’s genome
Wesseldijk et al. compare the genomic information collected from Ludwig van Beethoven with population-based datasets used to quantify musical achievement.

OK, I will try to set it up better this time so other people can actually fix it when it inevitably crashes. Part of me feel like we should just use @tuomaseerola.bsky.social's feed he set up for ICMPC or ESCOM, but I'm drawn to the custom nature of your own feed...

whoops, i would spell it correctly as #musicskyence (typo in first post)

think it would just be easier to make a totally new feed with that as the tag and eventually delete the other one. I had it running by just catching all music science related tags davidjohnbaker.rbind.io/posts/2023-0... Though if this is something you're interested in spearheading, please lmk

Thanks for putting this list together and I like the #musicskyance tag. Do you mind if I use that label to re-create a new custom feed for all things #musicscience? I made one about a year ago, let it go defunct after I tried to convince everyone to join bsky, and now have no idea how to fix it and>
