Why can't we watch @BBCNewsdayLive or the @BBCWorld on the @BBCiPlayer? They're so much more straight to the point, informative, and way less depressing than 90% of the stories that come up on @BBCBreakfast!

Interested in inflammation, telomere attrition, or human endogenous retroviruses, and their links to psychiatry? Speak to the fantastic scientists in my team (Posters T77, T19, T28) at #WCPG2024 in Singapore today.

🚀Our article on HERVs and their link to psychiatric disorders just got republished by @sciam! 🧬🧠 Dive into how ancient viruses in our DNA might affect mental health. Check it out! #Science #Genetics #Psychiatry #HERVs @3RDuarte @NIHRMaudsleyBRC @KingsCollegeLon @KingsIoPPN
Retroviruses, some of which predate the human species, are tied to a genetic susceptibility to major psychiatric disorders trib.al/7G1zuN5

@powell_tim_r, @TheNixonLab and myself wrote a piece for the @ConversationUK to explain what our research on human endogenous retroviruses mean for Psychiatry (and also what it DOESN'T mean!) We hope you enjoy it! theconversation.com/depression-sch…
Our paper is here: nature.com/articles/s4146…, but you can find a summary of the work here: kcl.ac.uk/news/ancient-v… #Genetics #MentalHealth #HERVs #Neuroscience #Psychiatry (3/5)
