To my genetics/genomics friends in Australia: the @OurDNA_program Symposium will be in Sydney on 14 August, just before @HGSAAustralasia. Learn more about inclusive recruitment for genomics and get a preview of the OurDNA variant browser! https://t.co/YVWdA9IUP7

[Daniel MacArthur @dgmacarthur]

@iFECCA @NCIG2013 Last up for today is Chris Richards from the Centre for Population Genomics describing progress on the @OurDNA_program, which is currently recruiting 10,000 individuals from genomically under-represented Australian communities.

[Daniel MacArthur @dgmacarthur]

@iFECCA Next up is Alex Brown from @NCIG2013 discussing the massive health inequities facing Indigenous Australians, and the need to build approaches for Indigenous genomics that maintain data sovereignty and ensure real benefit to communities.

[Daniel MacArthur @dgmacarthur]

Our second keynote is Mary Ann Geronimo, CEO of @iFECCA, Australia’s peak body advocating for diverse communities, discussing Australia’s unique human diversity and the impact of research under-representation on healthcare outcomes.
