The same people that don’t believe Black Doctors are qualified also don’t think we should have a directory for those who want to see a Black doctor! Why do they even care? Leave Black People Alone! - HBCU educated Black Doctor with friends.

Sequencing sperm using nearly error-free sequencing → measure % sperm carrying disease-causing mutations:
2% at age 30 → 4.5% at 70
Most were autism genes
New paper in @Nature today 🧵
