Merci à tous nos participants d’aujourd’hui et à l’aréna Clément-Jetté de Montréal. Thank you to all of our participants today and to the Clément-Jetté arena.
Great talk by @sickboypodcast at the #CAGC21 . Many great takeaway messages, one being "life is too short for small talk". Get to know the heart of a person by going in with the hard questions.
Something that stands out to me in the convo re: Orchid’s polygenetic testing for embryos (which is not a good idea scientifically or ethically imo - see thread below) is that there IS a clear need for pre-conception genetic counseling for multifactorial conditions #GCchat 1/
“I learned that my tool was telling Mila’s story,” [mom] says. A dying child, a mother’s love and the drug that changed medicine https://t.co/HKoio0rb53 #GCchat The diagnostic odyssey gets me every time. We need to make genetics routine. ❤️
The website is now live for the Canadian Board of Genetic Counselling-Conseil Canadien de Conseil Génétique (CBGC-CCCG). Check it out at: https://t.co/EaZGUzQgvN
About 1 in 9 men will be diagnosed with #prostatecancer during their lifetime. If you have a family history, a #geneticcounselor can help assess your risk and make decisions about your health. Thank you @alroker for sharing your story and educating others.

Unable to watch all of the #CAGC20 talks live (I will definetly watch the ones I miss on demand later!) But in the meantime I'm happy to be able to scroll through twitter to get the latest updates! Very interesting points! #GCchat
A great first day of #CAGC20 is coming to a close soon. Here are some overall themes that were discussed at the short course on Alternative Service Delivery Models for Genetic Counselling.
