Recent research includes positive psychology (the genetics of Hedonic and Eudaimonic wellbeing); Language and reasoning (the genetics of dyslexia and language impairment, memory, laterality, intelligence), and social behavior genetics: Using genetics to understand individual differences on social traits such as politics and group behavior.
