I am recruiting a PhD student, co-supervised with George Davey-Smith, Gareth Hawkes and Laura Corbin to study trait residualized for known genetic influences, please Apply! gw4biomed.ac.uk/shining-a-li...
Thank you, Herman!
New paper! 🥳 I had so much fun working on this interdisciplinary project, and proud it is part of @gaiaghirardi.bsky.social@karlosj89.bsky.social during online ECSR in 2020, proof that online conferences can lead to collaboration too 😃
A low genetic 🧬 propensity for (non)cognitive skills is less consequential for educational outcomes 🎓 among high-SES students. A twin study 👨👩👧👧 with molecular data (children-parents) we just published in RSSM by a great interdisciplinary team of sociologists and psychologists 👇 doi.org/10.1016/j.rs...
We find no evidence of the Scarr-Rowe hypothesis and some suggestion of the compensatory advantage hypothesis.
We build the PGI for (non)cognitive skills and take a life-course approach, looking at 7 educational outcomes from childhood to adulthood. We triangulate findings from the between-, within-family, and trio research designs to identify more robust G×E interactions.
Using NTR data, we test two competing hypotheses: the Scarr-Rowe (Scarr-Salapatek, 1971) from behavioral genetics and the compensatory advantage hypothesis (Bernardi, 2014) from social stratification literature
First publication of my thesis is out w/ this fantastic & interdisciplinary team: @karlosj89.bsky.social@fabriberna.bsky.social@perlinedemange.bsky.socialdoi.org/10.1016/j.rs...
