I have two lines of research that evaluate biometrically-informed designs for psychology and their application to understanding health inequity. In my substantive work, I focus on how individual differences influence the relationship between socioeconomic status and health. In my methodological work, I focus on developing and improving biometrically-informed designs, such as behavior genetic discordant kin models, and pedigree models. These designs strengthen our ability to make causal inferences by leveraging environmental and genetic information, usually using publicly-available data.

Thanks for keeping me company and giving concrete advice during my (now overturned) perma-ban. That's certainly not something to simply expect from an editor as productive in the content arena as yourself. Biohistorian15 (talk) 16:45, 7 September 2024 (UTC)

The Tireless Contributor Barnstar
Hello, Smasongarrison,
I would think that editors/admins closing CFD discussions would be responsible for carrying out those decisions but I see that you are taking responsibility and handling emptying and merging categories. Thank you for offering to do that, it's appreciated! LizRead!Talk! 01:16, 3 December 2023 (UTC)
