Criminology, sociogenomics, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu--These are a few of my favorite things.

‼️🚓New Research🚓‼️
Law enforcement officers (LEOs) are told to "protect and serve"—but who's protecting them? Our new study in @LancetRH_Americ reveals that LEOs bear greater all-cause/cause-specific mortality risk than the working-age general population. 🧵

This one will blow your mind. How genes interact w/life circumstances circa puberty shapes levels of impulsivity, drive & health. Also a serious discussion about sinning & forgiveness through the lens of psychology and biology. @kph3k brings extraordinary knowledge & insight.

Our multi-ancestry GWAS of EXTernalizing conditions (ADHD, substance use...) in ~4M people reveals neurodevelopmental risk, drug-repurposing targets, and yields one of the strongest psychiatric polygenic indices yet! 🧬🎉 https://t.co/VyNXMRuzcz

I would like to thank my awesome coauthors JC Barnes, Pete Blair, and Hunter Martaindale for their support throughout the project!

#NewResearch ‼️ from Drs. @pttanksley , Blair, Martaindale (@alerrtcenter) & Barnes (UC) analyzes U.S. law enforcement officer mortality using 2020–2023 national data. Published in The Lancet Regional Health – Americas. Link below! https://t.co/IeYtEk5gP2

New preprint up @CrimRxiv. We test whether AI-generated police officer profiles can provide a valid, scalable way to study public perceptions of officers.

Led by @UUtah's Chandler Robinson, and alongside Matt Logan and Pete Blair, we varied officer race, gender, and body type across thousands of AI-generated headshots. Participants rated competence, warmth, and agency.

Findings:
1. Male officers seen as more competent/agentic, less warm.
2. Muscular officers rated highest for competence/agency.
3. Heavier officers penalized.
4. Minority race officers viewed as warmer than White officers.

The ReGPC presents comprehensive GWAS of the Big Five personality in N=611K-1.14M and within-family GWAS in N=51K. In contrast to many other social/behav traits, pop GWAS of personality almost entirely reflect direct genetic effects. https://t.co/j5Esm4qHPC

[E-Risk Study @ERiskstudy]

@pttanksley in the @ERiskstudy & the #MCS found an externalising polygenic index links genetics to early-life self-control issues 🧬🧠. This could help identify at-risk youths for support before it leads to externalising behaviors 🚸@KingsIoPPN

🚨 New paper!
In this review, we explore factor indeterminacy and outline how we can use genetic data to test the validity of latent factors.
