Great high-level summary to those who unfortunately couldn't be there. I too am really excited by the work both stretching across diagnoses, as well as looking at finer structure. And glad to see success increasing diversity both among participants and investigators. #WCPG2023

I wrote a long (and presumably spelling error riddled) blog post with my impressions of #WCPG2023 and the state of psychiatric genetics.

The state of psychiatric genetics

The world congres of psychiatric genetics went beyond GWAS, and with that come new challenges.

Crying! At My Mentor's Keynote #WCPG2023

Hi #WCPG2023, it’s been a great few days! But more today 😉: I’m talking about my work with Andy Dahl on phenotype integration and PRS specificity in the symposium on GWAS phenotyping, 3pm in Rm 510, with Travis Mallard, Justin Tubbs, Jeanne Savage and Abe Palmer. Come join us!! Preprint linked:

Phenotype integration improves power and preserves specificity in biobank-based genetic studies of M...

The session about sex differences includes a lot of thorough work on maternal effects and is really interesting, and not just because my mentor Dr Mahjani's presentation is fun, and has my work mentioned in it (wink wink) - talk to all scholars from the session #WCPG2023

Hello #WCPG2023onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....) at 1pm in room 510 today, and I also have the pleasure of cochairing the session - come join us!

Hi #wcpg2023! Today: my student Lianyun Huang is gonna talk about MDD symptoms assessed in the UKBiobank in the PGC session on mental health research using UKB data! ✨ Where/When: 4pm in Rm 510, with Ben Lacey, Ana Lucia Espinosa Dice and Cathryn Lewis 🤩 Come hear her out!

"Vanilla strategy" GWAS made me cackle (in sadness) #WCPG2023

My biggest #WCPG2023 success is breaking my shyness and introducing myself to scientists that I consider great. Toot toot

Good morning #wcpg2023! Today: My student Jolien Rietkerk is giving a talk at 1pm in the Stats Methods session (Rm 510) on use of PRS in pathway interaction test + method considerations; Lianyun Huang is giving a poster (no 74) on MDD symptom genetics. Come hear them out, feedback welcome! 🤩
