@doublehelixTAT Good luck @doublehelixTAT! You've got this. Just say 'no' to any potential distractions that try to come your way. ☺️

@TPP_MD We have approximately 20,000 pairs of genes in each cell...not the kind you wear (jeans), the kind that give your body instructions. 😆 #jokeItelltotoomanypatients

Meechie lost his battle. 💔In all the sadness, I'm so glad that he got the opportunity to be part of the @UMichFootball team for a short time & experience such joy. Sending love to his friends & family. #osteosarcoma
Did you know that >20% of osteosarcomas may be hereditary?

[Kami Wolfe Schneider, EdD, MS, CGC @kamiws]

Osteosarcoma sucks, but this is amazing. So incredibly heartwarming. #GoBlue

It was a pleasure to have Dametrius Walker with us today to get a tour of the facilities and to score his first career touchdown! Keep fighting, Meechie, the entire program is with you!

Great Webinar @NHGRI_Director @NHGRI @HeatherZierhut @GeneticCouns @ChazemanJackson @GeneticsSociety @Marc_GeneDoc @TheACMG @VenceBonham on collaborating towards diversifying the genetics workforce. Shout outs to @minoritygenetic & @GOLDENDNA2! @GCs4Change #GCChat #ToBeContinued

@doublehelixTAT @CarrieBlout @GeneticCouns I agree that certification should be based on competencies but introducing more quizzes could also create inequities, especially from #geneticcounselors from marginalized communities...

@AgrawalPB_lab @BenjaminSolomo2 @GeneDx @HereAtMonica @HeidiRehm @BCHNewbornMed The way info is presented is important. Families should have right to decline w informed consent, but declination may be less likely if testing is "recommended." I.e. Your care team strongly recommends this. This is why...

Today is Genetic Counselor Awareness Day 2022! Help advance the profession by supporting #AccesstoGCs, a bill that would authorize CGCs as healthcare providers. Retweet if you support GCs in healthcare! https://t.co/pOmUCU2Fjg #IAmAGeneticCounselor #GeneChat #HR2144 #S1450

[Kami Wolfe Schneider, EdD, MS, CGC @kamiws]

Happy #GeneticCounselorAwarenessDay! It's an incredible profession (I know I'm biased) & I look forward to its future evolution. I hope for more diversity with more equitable training & certification. And let's soon celebrate #GCAppreciationDay instead. #IAmAGeneticCounselor

[Rachel Mills, PhD, MS, CGC @doublehelixTAT]

Newly-certified CGCs attending #NSGC22 in-person OR virtually are eligible. GCs who attended the AC as a student are also eligible to participate. But #NSGC22 must be the first conference you're attending where you can earn CEUs. Feel free to DM for more info!

[Rachel Mills, PhD, MS, CGC @doublehelixTAT]

I’m seeking a few genetic counselors attending #NSGC22 to participate in a qualitative research study about professional identity formation. If this is your first AC as a CGC, please consider signing up! #GeneChat https://t.co/aCcOTb8mcY

[Kami Wolfe Schneider, EdD, MS, CGC @kamiws]

@doublehelixTAT Wonderful news, @doublehelixTAT! Just in time for the #NSGCAC2022. Hope you have great @GeneticCouns recruitment! #GeneChat

@kalenevane gave a wonderful presentation today representing #geneticcounselors well at the @VHLAlliance's #VHLsymposium2022 summarizing her #geneticcounseling research on psychosocial impacts of cancer surveillance on children and adolescents: https://t.co/LgSuI0t61L #GeneChat
