Early career researchers - don't forget to enter the @megukepi flash talk event! Showcase your molecular epidemiology research in a 3 minute video for a chance to win an award for your research. More details here: https://t.co/Ys9palhFTR
Please RT! This is a great opportunity for PhD students and ECRs to showcase their research. Nice on your CV and cash prizes too! @mrc_ieu @Brms_Research #epidemiology#showcase https://t.co/vxMpLLFzpN
1/2 As someone who has likely had their genetic info leaked in the 23andMe hack & as a genetics researcher (who knows the lengths we go to to keep data safe and anonymised), 23andMe need to be held accountable for their incredibly poor security practices

Excited to share my recent work on family genetic risk and environmental risk factors for SCZ & BD, swing by poster #99 later today if interested!
Only 1 more week until abstract submission closes for the MEG-UK annual meeting in Birmingham on November 3rd, for information on submission: https://t.co/4fwGpKiaKp
(5/5) We also found higher risk in children of migrant parents & generally worse outcomes for male migrants - full details & conclusions in the paper!
(1/5) In our recently published study on migration in Sweden, we conducted a matched case-control study to investigate several characteristics of migrants & risk of schizophrenia & bipolar https://t.co/fHKIBRQ9xK
(4/5) Despite regional variation, after controlling for age at migration, risk of SCZ was comparable across regions (bar Africa) & stratifying by age revealed elevated risk of BD for childhood migrants from Nordic countries
Registration and abstract submission are now open for the MEG-UK annual meeting on 'Data Diversity'. Abstracts are welcome from all areas of molecular epi & several travel bursaries are available for ECRs. https://t.co/ZOx2PXpah6
We are still recruiting new committee members! If you are interested in joining us you can find more information on our website

New register-based study @SchizBulletin exploring impact of #EarlyLifeFactors on risk for #SCZ & #BD finding shared perinatal risk factors; unique prenatal risk factors for SCZ implying both shared & unique risk factors @karolinskainst@natass_robinson https://t.co/KbR6lJQ1xx
Excited to share our recent study investigating early life environmental risk factors for SCZ and BD.. we found many are shared but show higher risk for SCZ while others are distinct risk factors https://t.co/TVUo0dqJOz
