🤯Direct genetic effect GWASes render the genetic correlation between BMI and cognition to zero, and BMI and education close to 0. This questions a lot of other work linking cognition-BMI that has seemed very robust.

I believe the future of social sciences may lie in the environment, health and aging, and AI. I’ve been gradually shifting my focus to these areas, and recent job openings seem to reflect this trend. Grad students might want to keep these fields in mind as you plan your research.

Yes folks we’re rolling
