Implications are of course highly relevant for criminology.

"Socially-responsible design starts with the research question" What type of research question we ask, how we ask it, and how we try to answer it is not neutral, whether we like it or not.

Rosa went further with the example of "low-PGI children": such language implies genetic essentialism, this is labeling and reductive. To read: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Yaël Friedman (philosopher of science) took the example of geographical-based labels and how they downplay complexity and smuggle back racial assumptions.
Cant remember where, but someone suggested to use "European-like genetic ancestry" instead of "European ancestry".

"Genetics isn't just happening in our bodies. It's happening inside **systems**" @ziadaayorech.bsky.social told us about common misconceptions, including our tendency to forget that everything we study is context-dependent.

Brilliant panel on the education of mental health professional and the role of intersectionality, as part of Oslo Pride, with PROMENTA's Sam Fluit, Jacob Evje and @ziadaayorech.bsky.social, chaired by @nastjaontheroad.bsky.social.

Ending the conference with a panel about Mendelian Randomization with @mendelrandom.bsky.social Alice Carter and Dalton Conley. My main take-away: use negative controls!

@sjoerdalten.bsky.social combines a trio PGI design with the sibling design (by Trejo, the model where you only need the phenotypes of both siblings) to look at the association of personality PGI and SES outcomes in Lifelines and the dutch registry. @essgn.bsky.social

Independent contributions to externalizing and internalizing symptoms from common and rare variants shown by @olivia-wootton.bsky.social in MCS and Alspac.
Also always nice to see that the NonCog PGI association is not mediated by cognitive skills 🤞

Using having two first children of same sex as an IV, Dalton Conley disproves the Trivers-Willard hypothesis: it appears having a girl is taking a bigger toll on parents’ epigenetic clocks. @essgn.bsky.social

Interesting method challenge from Niels Rietveld: how do you do an extended twin family model when you don’t know zygocity and have extremely gendered phenotype? They compare same-sex twins and same-sex closely spaced siblings! They run this on entrepreneurship in CBS. @essgn.bsky.social

Associations between psychopathologies PGIs and cognition are the same when controlling for P factor. Within- and between-family association pattern is different depending on the psychopathology and associations with verbal and nonverbal IQ as well. @essgn.bsky.social by Wangjingyi Liao

Ok I was a bit quick to post, as deciles plots (bar plots) appear better at conveying info about averages (while scatter plots better for prediction about individuals). Showing both types of plots seems to have basically same effects as showing only decile plots.

Kicking off #ESSGN2025 @essgn.bsky.social with @michellemeyer.bsky.social advocating for scatter plots vs bar plots in social science genetics. Everyone (scientists and public) is better at interpreting effect sizes with scatter plots.

Using self-reported mental health data and academic standardized tests, we compared siblings and their children to answer: Is the sibling with worse mental health more likely to have a child with lower achievement?

We find no evidence that parental mental health influences children's academic achievement when comparing families in the Norwegian MoBa study.
