In our new study (with @TimJRees), we show that genetically predicted memory capacity is independently associated with self-reported foreign language proficiency in both children and adults. More memory-enhancing alleles = better language skills.

"kids who thought going to university to learn coding may be in trouble now?... YES"
Nobel Laureate, Geoffrey Hinton:
AI tutors could outperform humans by using data to pinpoint misunderstandings.
it will make universities less necessary for undergraduate learning, but vital for research training.
This week, with @MarkRBeauchamp@MarkStevens2411@MattLowPT@twwainwright we published in @BJSM_BMJ on the potential for group exercise to help those with chronic conditions. Please take a look and/or try the Word version (linked tweet). https://t.co/VH5INwWdHe

@andykirkland71 - I think you are referring to Dan's interviewing? I'd agree. I'm always impressed at the skill of interviewers. But as an aside, when UKS set up the project, they advertised for PHDs to conduct the GBM project . . .
@TimJRees@TimJRees I have just used it as an exemplar in a 'Research Methods' module, exploring the importance of expertise/understanding of the topic to conduct good interviews. Also helps me in 'Case Formulation' as a way to understand lifecourse & complexity.
