Excited to share two preprints on stakeholder attitudes towards polygenic embryo screening (PES). Takeaways: * The (US) public and IVF patients approve PES and some are interested. * Fertility clinicians have many concerns and most don't plan to offer PES. 🧵below.

ANOTHER NEW PREPRINT! In a nationally representative survey (n=1435), we find high approval for polygenic embryo screening. In a separate sample, presenting concerns first increased ambivalence but not disapproval. Work led by Rémy Furrer & Gabriel Lazaro-Munoz medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

New commentary from me & Cynthia Kubu about the impacts of speculative neuroethics research including: increasing stigma surrounding brain implants, stoking fears among potential patients, and deterring adoption of the technology. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Today is the launch of my new book. It was fun to do. As always, you learn a lot by writing. Thanks Harvard University Press. Great working with. You can read about the book here psychologytoday.com/.../our-four-r…...
