Genomic studies should represent human diversity!
Let's work together to advance #intersectional, equitable #genomics, where everyone has a voice, especially those who continue to be marginalized in #science & society 🧬🌎
🔥Who is up for the challenge?
#equity #diversity

So happy to present my research last week. Excited for future conversations on how to best support patients with limited English proficiency. Also marks the end of my training. Time flys! @GC_UofT

Important work to inform our practice and ensure equitable service

For many 2SLGBTQIA+ people, a doctor’s visit can be nerve-wracking for all the wrong reasons. Discrimination & racism, compounded with past trauma & the fear of being judged, may prevent someone from seeking medical help when they most need it. #PrideMonth https://t.co/YYKCrk1D7f

Although the vast majority of cases of CDJ are sporadic approximately 10-15% are the inherited form. ~70 Canadians have been diagnosed with the inherited form. https://t.co/PtPwYov81X
