Fatima presented her poster on ✨High-Throughput Functional Analysis of Genes Associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder✨ at the Bonn Brain Conference @bonnbrainconf.bsky.social last week.
Wow look at this! @aydaabol.bsky.social presented her work on COVID-19 host genetics at the #GfH2026 in Munich! Nice to see this important research on the conference stage. 🧬
Next week, the Pint of Science festival is taking place across Germany. On Tuesday in Bonn, @kilarski.bsky.social and @lea202.bsky.social will be give a talk about the human genome, come and tlak to us 🧬
The festival is happening in many cities, so check out the programme and see what’s on near you.
Laura @kilarski.bsky.social and Lea @lea202.bsky.social explained genetic research to the general public at Pint of Science Bonn @pintofscience.de
Have you ever thought of the genome as a set of building instructions, like the ones you get from IKEA?
🚨Review Alert🚨
New review article from Caroline Baumgartner and colleagues is published in Der Nervenarzt (in German). Check it out to learn about shared genetic mechanisms and clinical implications for psychiatry and rare monogenic epilepsies.

@lea202.bsky.social presented her MPRA data at the Stem Cells in Neuroscience conference last week. Where she didn't just reconnect with her Master's thesis lab led by @stefanhauser.bsky.social, but also received valuable input from specialists across the field.
10/10 conference experience 👩🔬
In addition to the recent PGC Outreach Committee report, here’s another useful resource for science communication in psychiatric genetics, this PGC webinar on the topic
Clear communication is essential in a field as sensitive and complex as psychiatric genetics.
