Privar a las personas refugiadas de Palestina de alimentos, agua y recursos básicos es un método de presión y una grave violación de los derechos humanos. Y en #Gaza sigue ocurriendo. En un solo año, al menos 463 palestinos incluidos 157 niños han muerto por inanición. ¡Basta ya!

Are you a regular attendee at the World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics? Please help us to shape #WCPG2026 We’d love your input on: ✅ Which plenary speakers would you like to hear? ✅ What innovations should we bring to #WCPG2026? ✅ What new areas should we make sure to cover?

#WCPG2026 may seem far off, but planning is already well underway for our annual gathering next year in Scotland. Next year, we're trading the sunshine of #WCPG2025 for the warmth of Scottish hospitality in Glasgow, from 30th September – 3rd October 2026.

In a GA4GH Public Attitudes blog post, Gabriela Chavaría Soley, Ronald Alfaro Redondo, and Henriette Raventós (Universidad de Costa Rica) explore individual attitudes toward medical and genetic data sharing in Latin America and the development of two new indexes.

Thank you to all our speakers, attendees, volunteers, and staff! Without your participation, the World Congress of Psychiatric Genetics wouldn't be possible. We look forward to seeing everyone next year in Glasgow, Scotland!
