April is National Autism Acceptance Month

Did you know Alabama created and implemented the first state-recognized Autism Identification Card in the United States, and county health departments issue them?

Our study on why residents and young faculty chose genetics as a career has been published. No surprise- mentorship!

Congratulations to my baby boy. Named executive chief resident on his birthday, a week after getting married! A very good stretch indeed

@GavinPrestonMD Bob Marion wrote several very important books, at least to me

[Nathaniel H Robin @NatRobinMD]

@GavinPrestonMD What do you call healthy people who come for genetic testing to help understand their risk for disease? Serious question, as we in genetics often debate the language, some use ‘client’, which I also don’t like

We’ve hit the big time!

Your periodic reminder that less ice at the Arctic is consistent with a weaker jet stream that allows cold air to drift down into the Great Plains.

The frigid temps you're experiencing happen BECAUSE of a warming planet, not in spite of it.

@hjluks Now do the pelvis and spine. That is where evolution most screwed up

Genetics and genomics both play roles in health and disease, but what’s the difference between the two? Why are they both important for our health? Learn more about their differences and importance for our health in our Genetics vs. Genomics Fact Sheet! https://t.co/Uq2Ymb1w8y

@hjluks 1. It will hurt. Like hell. But you must hit your rehab 1000%. No excuses; 2. Be patient. Take 6 weeks off to dedicate fully to recovery. Recovery rate is 75% at 3 months, 90% at 6m, 100% at 12m. 3. Try to increase strength and ROM beforehand, but thats a bonus. 2/

@hjluks I had mine 10 yrs ago. Literally save my life - was crippled, now can walk 18, do 60 min peloton rides, hike. I have prepared several buddies and talked them thru recovery. Everyone is diff but I have a few consistent messages 1/

[Nathaniel H Robin @NatRobinMD]

@hjluks Couldn’t agree more. This should be required education for every specialty. Esp in today’s world where patients/ parents may get a result via portal before we have a chance to contact them

Dr Hurst is most deserving of this honor.

[Anna C.E. Hurst, MD @acedens]

I’m truly honored and thankful to @UABHeersink! Excellent patient care takes a team, and UAB has amazing primary care and subspecialty docs.

I love clinical genetic medicine, so it’s humbling to be recognized among clinicians like the great @MJHeslin! 🧬#iamamedicalgeneticist
