Early-career-researcher-led best practices for social science and behavioural genetics

Abstract:
An emerging market promotes embryo selection for behavioural traits including IQ, but the response of the social and behavioural genetic research community remains muted. We call for unified best practices, updated training and participatory ethics so that the field can strengthen accountability for its present-day impact and prevent future harms.
