They’ve exceeded Watergate so profoundly, that they can’t even see it as a crime.

Yes, he really made the Centrists self reflect and avoid future disasters. Just kidding.

“…that rare variants across hundreds of genes contribute to autism with variable phenotypic outcomes.” That’s a bit of wiggle room…

He probably has two more games, if we are being realistic. Love his tough play, but you can’t take that beating for 17.

Viva la chopstick gene! 🖥️🧪🧬

If we crank the N to a few billion, we can find the gene for conscientiousness. 🖥️🧪🧬

Steve Pittelli, MD @stevepittelli.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Oh wait, maybe we can do another twin study. 🖥️🧪🧬

Behavioral genetics is dead. I declare victory. 🖥️🧬🧪

They couldn’t be happier to have three less rivals for Trump’s attention.

I think the “anymore” is a reach.

Where have all the BG GWAS gone? Have we called it quits? 🧬🖥️🧪

The only thing that really bothers those media outlets is getting banned.

Maybe neither

There are different ways to look at it. “It’s in the stars,” is one; People who are into astrology are influenced by their sign; people know which questions match their sign on a questionnaire. The last has implications for something like twin studies of similar traits.

Steve Pittelli, MD @stevepittelli.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Still too soon, bud,

Steve Pittelli, MD @stevepittelli.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

There are many ways to take a study like this but, generally speaking, It suggests that “small but significant” findings in the social sciences are not useful, whether it be horoscopes, behavioral genetics or anything else.

Steve Pittelli, MD @stevepittelli.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

So the question then, for behavioral geneticists is whether they should accept the validity of astrology?

“Concrete steps like national health care. Did I mention national health? No, I did not.”

Steve Pittelli, MD @stevepittelli.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Don’t embarrass yourself, unless a “course in ‘psychometrics,” is a how-to on statically massaging null data to get the NYTs to hype the jillionth study making some case for genetic determinism. I’ve been watching this harmful spectacle for longer than half the people in your field have been alive.

You are talking about a kind of self control that doesn’t apply.
