When my baby, Harper, was born w/ a #RareDisease - I had no idea what was wrong, only that she was sick. Time before dx can be agonizing; we were lucky #genomics provided an answer. How can we make sure ALL Americans benefit from this #technology? Join us: https://t.co/XJgNgqbkVG

🚨I wrote about what the US can do to fight the ongoing pandemic, which its leaders have decided to sleepwalk through. When political will evaporates, what rises in its place?

This piece is an attempt to resist fatalism, and find hope amid inaction. 1/
