Last night @laken77 played his 150th regular season NFL game! I am so proud — and I realized that my friends will have no idea how cool that is. So I put on my data girl hat and made these for you! First: what’s the distribution of games played among active players?

If the below math is correct, then my husband Laken Tomlinson ( #75 ) will make his 75th consecutive start today (of 75 possible) during the 75th anniversary year for the Niners. If we win, we’ll be 7-5. #SFvsSEA #trenchwarfare #NFL #ProBowlVote - @laken77

Laken Tomlinson has played in 73 of 73 possible games ever since coming to the 49ers in a 2017 trade. Jarring to hear that he’s hurt, but if Tomlinson is indeed limited in practice this week his track record of durability suggests that he’ll play against Minnesota

So we know parent executive functioning (EF) relates to child EF, but WHY? Do parents just pass down genes that underlie EF? Do parents with better EF parent more effectively? Do parents and children live in similar contexts that affect EF? 1/🧵

Interestingly, both warm and harsh parenting had major shared environmental overlap with child EF. This is hard to interpret given low C estimates for child EF. However, it could reflect that there is a lot of commonality in parenting between twins, which then affects EF 7/🧵

This model is cool because we can ask whether parenting has significant covariance with child EF **separate from genetic confounds**. And for harsh parenting, that is a yes! Harsh parenting (as per 2 caregivers + twin) has non-shared environmental overlap with child EF. 6/🧵
