@PeterAttiaMD podcast topic for consideration: the evidence for the protective effect Gilbert syndrome has on atherosclerotic disease and metabolic disease.

Dear #geneticounselor colleagues,

If you saw a HBOC patient in the past month, consider giving the altruistic gift of your time to complete this thoughtful survey https://t.co/dmDS0NXX1e for a student project re: use of gendered language in cancer care.

@GeneticCouns @KimZayhowski Congratulations! Hey I’m interested in your use of language. Is chest tissue a preferred term by some individuals?

@LGtheCGC @lizmizerik GCs need just as much DEI training as any other profession. It’s a misunderstanding that our schooling and work is adequate to be champions for DEI.

Does anyone else offer gratitude to ChaGPT after it’s helped you out?

@AjvictoryMD Well said. I didn’t see the bias until you pointed it out with the rationale and now it’s all I see. Thanks for sharing.

[Justin Lorentz @geneticjustin]

@mixing808 @GeneticCouns @GCA_Assoc @SCaGCPSN I agree that DEIJ touches every aspect of our profession, including this one. I read this article and I'm glad to know the NSGC has the Advocacy Coordinating Committee to champion these efforts. Official federal recognition is a win for DEIJ and the profession as a whole!

@YouTooBio Just make one up. As a Canadian registering for US conferences (only seems to be the US ones) I like to get creative about which state I’m from!

@JuddLegum Well done - thank you

My first conference as a genetic counselling student. I remember thinking “I want to give a talk here one day”. In 2021 I was honoured to give two talks. Sad to not attend this year, excited for new inspired genetic counsel(l)ors. Do you remember your first conference? #GeneChat

[BRCA Symposium @BRCASymposium]

Good timing as prospective GC students are completing Rank Order List. A new article by Laura Zahavich and @HirjiRiyana in the Journal of GC: Barriers in applying to genetic counseling Master's degree programs #genechat #deij #visibleminority #disability https://t.co/QlTxGDTS0i

To me, naming a DEIJ committee something it’s not, not only distracts from the work, but it forces a new identity on the committee. If that new identity is “JEDI”, I think it’s Forced itself two steps back. @GeneticCouns https://t.co/9oadtrBXPa
