The Human Genetics Society of Australasia is now on Twitter! Please follow @HGSAAustralasia and tell us who we should follow too! Can’t wait to engage with our members and genetic communities more! @GCAustralasia
If you are, or know a genetic counsellor currently practicing in Aus/NZ, we'd love to invite you to complete our survey: https://t.co/nLBoNuv87Q . We are interested in understanding genetic counsellors practice and attitudes towards psychiatric genetic counselling.#genechat 🧠🧬
Had my first day of class for Genetic Counselling grad school today! @UniMelbMDHS Been rooting for this day since 2 years and what a feeling! (Although had to wake up at 3am to join in from India but still was a joy!)Looking forward to this journey and inperson classes! #Genechat
Greg Abbot has officially directed Family and Protective Services to begin investigating all trans children in Texas and prosecuting their parents as child abusers.
He has also instructed all teachers, doctors, and caregivers to begin reporting any trans students they see.
Australian geneticists, trainees, GCs and GC students please take 10 minutes to complete this important online survey evaluating experience and thoughts on disability https://t.co/kbkuUBHCtW. Research conducted by @Amcinerneyleo@TatYanes4@vaish_1
Very interesting and insightful comment. There are a number of parallels we can draw to the Aus genetic counselling training and certification process. I’m very aware of the privilege needed to access and complete our training.
The transphobia on my timeline today has been disgusting and nothing short of hurtful.I always thought it gets better over time.But does it though? Are LGBTQIA+ students feeling safe?Are they getting the support they need? Time to ask the difficult questions.And LOUDLY! #GCChat
Whatever happened is absolutely condemning. Us as genetic counsellors are supposed to support people, not make it more hostile. That’s the total opposite of what we should be doing. My support goes to all non-binary and/or trans folks #GCchat
We encourage our community of genetic counselors to advance the spirit of diversity and inclusion, especially when interacting with peers, patients and the public. #GCchat
#WCGC21 is on! Joining in from India - super excited for the next 2 days! Has been superb and inspiring so far knowing the journey of establishment of GC in the UK #GCchat
Today is a day to celebrate our LGBTQ+ community for being able to live proudly and authentically as themselves. Today we also need to remember and send love to the many members of the LGBTQ+ community who are still not safe to come out.
YOU DESERVE LOVE❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
