POV: You’re a cell that has to read the genetic code written in DNA so you can produce the molecules you need.

#Bioinformatics is crucial and something we have been focusing on with #H3ECaribbean. #healthequity

[Human Heredity and Health in Africa @H3Africa]

Dr Gerald Mboowa is presenting on “Building resilient bioinformatics ecosystems in Africa”, Over the last ten years there’s been an acceleration of genomics in Africa. We need to support training programs for genomics and bioinformatics #H3Africa20thMeeting #Genetics

When you’re trying to advance genomic medicine to help all populations, but you can only find data that come from people with European ancestry.

Thanks, @CThompson_MD1! Your contributions have been invaluable. ❤️

[Chadane Thompson, MD @CThompson_MD]

The past two weeks on my #pallcare elective were filled with such meaningful, eye-opening experiences! I’m so grateful to have been introduced to this valuable subspecialty through the revolutionary work of @dingleja and @JACCRIorg. Upward and onward!

#Wetlands matter because they act as natural shields for inland areas and coastal communities.

The @IMAgovTT recognizes the potential of wetlands as #ClimateAdaptation measures and develops science-based projects to further this.

Such an important topic. Thanks for sharing, @CThompson_MD #PalliativeCare @PallOnc

[Chadane Thompson, MD @CThompson_MD]

I thoroughly enjoyed today’s #GrandRounds presentation! Learnt essential pearls on approaching serious illness conversations. Grateful! #MedTwitter #HPM #PallCare #PallOnc #SuppOnc

To find genetic conditions, researchers typically first select patients who are experiencing symptoms, and search for genetic variants that might explain it.

Our researchers decided to try another way: select patients with certain variants, then study their traits and symptoms.

[The Lancet @TheLancet]

Excessive daytime sleepiness is a public health issue.

However, it remains "largely undervalued, scarcely diagnosed, and poorly supported", say Laura Pérez-Carbonell and colleagues.

This Series paper explores the topic in detail: https://t.co/hCoiIoIcy5

The terms artificial intelligence and machine learning come up a lot! What is the difference between the two? How do they relate to each other? Artificial intelligence tools mimic human intelligence to solve problems and can tackle complex tasks. (Thread)
