Home

Welcome! I’m Michel Nivard, a researcher at the University of Bristol working at the intersection of psychology, genetics, and data science. This site is a home for my work, ideas, and has a special bleeding edge preprint repository of my most cutting edge, off-reservation, experiments (Unreviewed Collection), ranging from causal models and psychiatric genetics to protein folding and machine learning. I care deeply about making complex science accessible, whether through interactive visualizations, open-source tools, or the occasional grumpy blog post and a textbook I am developing on deeplearning for genomics.

Below are some dynamically generated stats about my behavior:

Bluesky posts

I am terminally online…

I do on occasion have a coding fit…

Citations (OpenAlex)

Peopel cite my work, but honestly who knows maybe they are trashing it…
