Was beyond super to be part of the discussions for this first ever https://t.co/DH74VgmilU. Inspired by the work the co-founders are doing, conversations show that if we convene to break barriers, those communities we belong to, will ultimately benefit. #bioethics for all

[@GeneticsEngage @geneticsengage]

https://t.co/aRN6brOMce This is so true, genomics remains highly unequal and unjust in who it harms or benefits

Genetics means so many different things to people, even a 'simple' test or result can be interpreted by a patient in multiple ways. People make sense of results from various contexts.
