A stranger posted this on social media yesterday and a friend sent me this screenshot.

Don’t give up, okay? These conversations and efforts have an R0, too. Believe that.

@PantasticGC @colleencaleshu @HeatherZierhut @barrygood What if there was a way for NSGC to put the code in the bottom corner of all the slides for a given talk. Like part of the PowerPoint template? Then there is no excuse to ask as its starring you in the face!

[Emily Morris, MSc CCGC @EMM_GC]

@colleencaleshu @J9_Austin Yes I'm pretty sure all (most?) of the sessions will be recorded due to the variety of time zones that will be attending!

[Muin J. Khoury @MuinJKhoury]

A survey of early adopters of direct to consumer polygenic risk scores tests found that having poorer understanding of PRS and lower levels of numeracy were related to negative psychological impact of PRS information. Via @ejhg_journal

Does psychiatric genetic counselling affect hospitalizations? We are linking data for a @UBCmedicine study to find out. https://t.co/tYSr0NKbst #datalinkage #admindata # populationhealth

@DenaTalksDNA @colleencaleshu @katiesagaser I told my husband that I wanted a fancy vacuum for Christmas once and he said that he would feel like a jerk getting me a vacuum and I think he felt it was a trap! But I really did want one!

[Emily Morris, MSc CCGC @EMM_GC]

@GenCOUNSEL_CA @J9_Austin Agreed! So proud!!!

[Emily Morris, MSc CCGC @EMM_GC]

@larissapeck @UBCmedicine And by helpful I mean providing the best patient care!

[Emily Morris, MSc CCGC @EMM_GC]

@larissapeck @UBCmedicine Thanks! Stay tuned for my "live" section where I try to dispel the barrier of "Time" ...is it really time or that we are prioritizing other aspects of the session? I would argue asking about mental illness should be prioritized in all settings as it is SO helpful and relevant!

[Emily Morris, MSc CCGC @EMM_GC]

@kennedyborle Haha you mean MedGens microsoft access 1997 database isnt the same?! Its now older than (some of) the current GC students....
