Primatologist, conservationist, animal advocate, educator, and National Geographic Explorer Jane Goodall has died at age 91. Goodall’s decades of research into the lives of wild chimpanzees transformed our understanding of these intelligent apes. https://t.co/i3qzfDIAzg

This week is National Hereditary Cancer Week, highlighting the importance of awareness and empowering individuals facing hereditary cancer to make informed medical decisions. At least 5-10% of all cancer is caused by an inherited genetic mutation. #genechat #precisionmedicine

As prenatal genome sequencing becomes more widely utilized, understanding patient perspectives is key. We’re proud to highlight this new publication (https://t.co/Vrjz2HoFo4) co-authored by former mGC intern Kristen! #genechat #precisionmedicine #GCAuthorship

The PERA bill (https://t.co/rFEkJpytZY) could reverse the progress we've made on how genetic testing is accessed and patented. Check out our fact sheet to see what’s at stake. #genechat #precisionmedicine #PERA #Myriad

September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. Genetic testing is a critical part of care: it can direct therapy choices, clarify recurrence risk, and provide actionable insights for patients. #genechat #precisionmedicine #ovariancancerawarenessmonth

@GavinNewsom YES.

@SocialSecurity - my 88-year old mother-in-law has been forced to do direct deposit of checks, but the site is down and the 1-800 # is a loop. Please advise.

23andMe got people curious about their DNA—and that’s a good thing. But when it comes to understanding your cancer risk, curiosity isn’t enough.

@MyGeneCounsel Please take 60 seconds to click this link an oppose bringing gene patents back.

[My Gene Counsel @MyGeneCounsel]

12 years ago, the Supreme Court decided our genes can’t be patented. That landmark ruling protected access to genetic testing and medical innovation. Now, Congress is trying to undo it with the PERA act.

Help stop this. Take action: https://t.co/577VUPbZnd

Another tragic loss due to DPYD-related chemo toxicity: (https://t.co/maLyKOdknY). It’s time for NCCN to recommend universal DPYD testing BEFORE chemo begins.
