Check out speakers for world's first international conference on newborn sequencing (@ICoNSeqInt) Oct 5-6! All speakers will be on site at the Boston @museumofscience. Register for in-person or streaming right away at https://t.co/yfIUmzKBEv but in-person will be more fun!

@colleencaleshu We most certainly should. The only thing that differentiates a patient who receives a secondary finding through diagnostic channels from a healthy adult who receives proactive genomic testing is the higher likelihood of being managed by a genetics literate provider.

@AmyCurrySturm @23andMe Congratulations Amy!!

@colleencaleshu Yes, I am with you 100%. Was on site at work last week only to learn a few days later that I was “close contact” with someone who tested positive. We spent 1 hour in my office. Yes- masked. But hubby is vulnerable, so I spent 5 days isolating at home just in case…

"Genetic testing has evolved from interrogating small sets of known pathogenetic variants in one or a few genes to examining hundreds or thousands of genes simultaneously using NGS." @BirgitFunke #GeneticTesting #Variants #NGS

Are labs asking too much/too little on 🫀🧬 req forms? Our consensus for #HCM: only 9 fields will do. Thanks @BirgitFunke for the idea and coauthors for entrusting me to lead this @ClinGenResource effort between labs, clinicians and academic centers in the US and abroad. #gcchat

Lucia’s jewelry is truly unique!!

[Werner Geyer @wernergeyer]

Over the summer my wife created some unique pieces of jewelry & cool scarfs. All pieces are unique, hand-made with high quality stones. If you are looking for some special gifts for the holiday season, check out her store on Etsy https://t.co/9oaWiC3EXt

I like this quote by authors Frances Frei and Anne Morriss - "Leadership, at its core, isn't about you. It's about how effective you are at unleashing other people...risk making other people the heroes of your leadership story."

[Birgit Funke @BirgitFunke]

I am honored to be joined by such outstanding faculty who are pioneering this new application of genomic testing @Marc_GeneDoc, Mark Caulfield, @GenomicsEngland, David Bick.
