With @remyfurrer.bsky.social, a new piece in Nature Human Behavior. The standard description of a polygenic score as a "genetic predisposition" essentializes a statistical construct. It's not language policing: PGS are a new kind of entity; now is the time to think carefully about what they are.
Next week we welcome prof. Charles C. Roseman ( @evoroseman.bsky.social ) for a lecture on a timely topic. Many thanks to prof. Roseman for being so generous with his time. More info (including a link for streaming) can be found here: www.ugent.be/lw/philosoph...
1981: Stephen Jay Gould's gets accused of "neo-Lysenkoism", contributing to a "chilling atmosphere" that prevents research in "a taboo area".
It is publication day for The Organism-Environment Pairing (@mitpress.bsky.social)! This 📗 has been deeply formative for me as a scholar, and it owes so much to so many wonderful people. I truly hope it finds many readers! mitpress.mit.edu/978026205282... #booksky #philsci #histsci #philsky #evosky

Nature Human Behaviour - Polygenic risk scores are not genetic predispositions
@jessicacalarco.com hit the nail on the head in her @pnas.org editorial about why the trend towards data transparency can be complicated for qualitative research--a dilemma that came to head in our recent PNAS paper on violence. I recommend giving it a read.

With qualitative research, the risks of data sharing can outweigh the rewards
Setting standards for budding interdisciplinary fields is a crucial step in the acquisition of their identity and in making possible their coalescence and institutionalization. However, negotiating wh...
