Keep some plastic out of the landfill and skip the swag, but visit us and hear about our science! #ASHG22

@resistbot @resistbot are there any text campaigns to call for leaders to speak out against this dangerous speech

@TTuberville It’s more like your team was winning after the 3rd quarter and then the power went out at your house. Other team came back to win... you just don’t know until you get the power back on.

Any chance we can get the parents, families and producers that organized the #CNNSesameStreet townhall questions to organize the election debates?

Genetics research today is done primarily in European populations. 23andMe is trying to change that. Thanks to our customers from African American and Latino backgrounds who consented to research, we have the opportunity to make genetic discoveries that benefit these communities.
