How does social isolation overlap with mental health problems in young people? Our new paper tested longitudinal genetic and environmental influences that are shared and specific to these experiences in the @ERiskstudy #OpenAccess (thrilling 🧵 below!!) doi.org/10.1007/s00787…
@CLScohorts meets @PurdueSociology ! Great meeting of the @ERC_Research /@UKRI_News FINDME project team in Lafayette and Chicago @KTNThompson @geurgas and Saul Newman. Looking forward to what's coming out of it!
Talking about the importance of the environment at a genetics conference is easier with wine… thank you @VangelisVassos for capturing and to #WCPG2024 for the absolute pleasure!!! @fctropf @robbeewedow @geurgas @BaptisteCouvy @laurahsheppard

´To measure the importance of loneliness for public health relevance solely as a causal factor oversimplifies its complex and intricate relationship with health’ @t_matth @KTNThompson @NicolaByrom @DeliaFuhrmann @SGDPCentreKCL @DrAPitman
Loneliness may not make you ill after all, says new study – but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t tackle it bit.ly/3THmzer
Fantastic symposium @EPAPsyEpi this morning in Causal inference in Psychiatry, co-chaired with @IoannisBakolis, insightful talks from @DrRonaldson & Annie Jeffrey 🤓📊📉
'Through a longitudinal genetically sensitive approach, we emphasise moving away from a view that aetiology is static and highlight that social isolation is developmentally intertwined with the experience of poor mental health. doi.org/10.1007/s00787…

“Our findings emphasise that rather than a risk factor or an outcome, social isolation is aetiologically intertwined with the experience of poor mental health.” New research by @KTNThompson published online today in @ESCAPonline doi.org/10.1007/s00787…

With the fall semester gearing up, I wanted to mention that I am on the post-doc market this cycle! My research examines strategies for reducing intergroup bias and creating environments in which targets of bias can thrive.🧵
This photo is such a beautiful reflection of the joy and pride of this amazing achievement. And two proud supervisors too. Super well done @KTNThompson on your graduation! @SGDPCentreKCL @KingsIoPPN @t_matth. The world is your oyster (and your whale too 😉).
Big floppy hat and big smiles from London!!
