In the Michael Vick case, all the rescues wanted was for the dogs to have a chance to be evaluated as individuals. Early on in the reporting process, we decided representing each dog individually was important to this story, too.

what a nightmare: a woman learns she is BRCA1 positive, gets a double mastectomy, finds out a decade later her test was wrong and she never had the BRCA1 mutation to begin with https://t.co/ExgxXoOdYZ

Teachers! Parents!

It is legal and perfectly welcome to email scientists asking for a PDF of their paper.

Until all papers are free, please RT to make this more widely known. And fyi, scientists don't get the $$ from sales of papers so all it costs us is 1 minute of time!

@BuckeyeTalkPod considering the idea that he instigated the chaos of this season, irony of rooting for Tom Herman this weekend...

Cecil & David Rosenthal had fragile X syndrome. “Cecil’s laugh was infectious. David was kind & had such a gentle spirit. Together, they looked out for one another. They were inseparable. Most of all, they were kind, good people w/ a strong faith & respect for everyone around.”

Bruce Korf Alabama cohort many do not want result given to their pcps! Evidence of preexisting condition concern? !#ASHG18

[Murugu Manickam @Murugu_m]

Jessica Gu @ medcan shows similar brca rate 1:200 to Geisinger cohort

[Murugu Manickam @Murugu_m]

@paulpharoah @skathire @MuinJKhoury @GeisingerRsrch @JAMANetworkOpen The deceased patients showed a higher penetrance but for the full cohort the ratio of BRCA1:BRCA2 was 1:2 (versus most cancer cohorts 1:1) and this will influence the overall risk. But agree

[Murugu Manickam @Murugu_m]

@AdamBuchanan76 @GeisingerRsrch Agree! Big team effort!

[Murugu Manickam @Murugu_m]

So proud of getting this information out https://t.co/b3q9S0jJx8 BRCA1/2 variants are more common than we have thought, family history may not always be enough but vitally important to think about population screening @GeisingerRsrch @MuinJKhoury @EricTopol

Someone heard my testimony last week & told my mom that people w/ pre-existing conditions shouldn't be covered, b/c you can't even get car insurance for a car that's already wrecked.

But I'm not "wrecked."
I have #NoonanSyndrome.

And I'm not a car.
I'm a person.

So... yeah.

@ISSCommunity @NCHforDocs #skypeascientist Kyle and I had a great time talking to Ms. Batson's 4th grade class in the Cayman Islands about Down syndrome and genetics! So fun!
