Thrilled to announce I have been selected again this year as an Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert. Looking forward to continue working with the Australian #MIEExpert team - as well as internationally.

Great article from the @DailyMailAU, sharing Lyndal’s story. When will the media stop referring to fully grown adults as a “donor baby”? #donorconception #ivf #spermdonor #dcp

I'm a donor baby and wanted to find out if I had any siblings... nothing could have prepared me for the result https://t.co/oDkf4XJ50m

If you’re into #donorconception consider giving @DC_Aust a follow (again): new account to replace old one that was lost.

It’s stuck in X purgatory for the algorithm to decide robo/real so any interactions with real accounts over the next few weeks will help. #donorconceived

I appreciate Jose's thinking when it comes to helping our students become mathematicians. He emphasizes relationships and connections, and I think that is where we have fallen short. This piece left me hopeful.

Sperm whale calls are far more complex than we thought – and could be an animal communication system that is the closest thing to human language discovered yet. https://t.co/HJ1nb310Re

Aurora Australis from our balcony.

A lifelong dream of mine to see the lights one day, never thought it would be from my own home.

@DebbieKennett Yes it is. Members and allies of the DC community in Australia have advocated for many years for legislative reform and more and more jurisdictions are passing legislation to ensure registers will provide info where it exists so DNA tests are not the only option. We are lucky.

[Aimee Shackleton @aimeeshack]

Interesting development, that I’m looking forward to learning more about how it might impact consumers. #donorconception #23andme #dnatest #genetictesting #donorconceived #dcp

Anne Wojcicki, the CEO of 23andMe, is considering taking the company private. https://t.co/Phv4uhf3C4 #GeneticGenealogy

[Aimee Shackleton @aimeeshack]

@DebbieKennett That’s always been my recommendation too. AncestryDNA is the most successful database for Australian DCP. Our community and others are still forced to use a variety of companies to connect with all of our kin, and 23andMe is the second paid option.

@sarahdingle_ @JennaPrice @SBS @DC_Aust Looking forward to this…..and an insight into an industry that still has no national database or regulation and needs to make it easier for donor conceived people to access information
