👉 Our new paper uses daily mobility data to show that spatial isolation is much more common today among those living in advantaged neighborhoods than the converse.

If this means the decades of sociology using twins to estimate heritability is wrong, has someone written that up for non-genetics people to understand? Seems important
I wrote a little bit about the "missing heritability" question and several recent studies that have brought it to a close. A short 🧵
The missing heritability question is now (mostly) answered
