Mom to two kids who keep me running with a love of running to keep me going. Traveler whenever I can and genetic counselor every day.

@AllyGarbs Distraction! My kiddos love watching videos on my phone that I’ve taken of them doing various things. Silly and they love seeing themselves in motion. Short and easy, and a quick distraction has worked for them.

Genetic counselors are fierce champions for patients, bringing expertise and empathy to sometimes difficult moments. On this GC Awareness Day, we're thankful to our #Iamageneticcounselor colleagues, customers, and friends. https://t.co/HenGL4dwyS

@appleheadstudio @pineapple_hfx We came in a couple weeks ago and this past weekend my youngest asked if we could do another picture day 😀 (might have been the sound track chosen that day ha!)

Amazing plenary session - as a Canadian, I learned so, so much. I was humbled by the amazing speakers sharing their stories (the Latin American immigrant experience in genetic counseling). Thank you @DanielaDiazCaro, Daisy Hernandez, Ghecemy Lopez, and @ERamosSD #NSGC21

[Meghan Ferguson @meggcgenetics]

@ebonkowski Such a great session - thank you!!!

[Meghan Ferguson @meggcgenetics]

Great cases to ponder. With the enormous expansion of somatic testing, and WES etc, we face many debates about germline testing in kids for adult onset hereditary cancer syndromes based on these results. Thank you for the amazing session @rosemc9ee and @jamalenator et al! #NSGC21

[Meghan Ferguson @meggcgenetics]

Some of my favourite sessions are those that focus on the patient voice. Really amazing of these families to share their journey through the decision to test or not to test children for adult onset heredity cancer syndromes #NSGC21

Putting a plug in for folks to check out @JoeStrohGC's poster: PI324 No Longer "Non-Traditional": Genetic Counselors' Perceptions Towards Laboratory and Industry Roles. This was a f/u from a LI SIG survey that @twitherington & @LaurenRyanGC did! #NSGC21 #GCchat

[Sarah Witherington @twitherington]

Hey hey #GCchat looks like there is a CEU tracker in the conference app and website. Just look under your profile. #NSGC21

[Meghan Ferguson @meggcgenetics]

@GeneGrayDNA @CAGC_ACCG As a Canadian I’m always in support of CAGC as well and it is always a really well done conference with great content. Last year it was of course all virtual and it was really well set up (from navigating features, content, speaker assessment at the end, CEU tracking etc).

Cancer GCs who see a few of, or specialize in hematologic malignancies! A short survey for clinical GCs. As a no-longer-clinical GC who specializes in hereditary heme malignancies, I love the growing group of GCs diving into this fascinating area with me! #GCchat

[RUNX1 Research Program @RUNX1Research]

Calling all #geneticcounselors! Please take a moment to complete this short survey around the prevalence of inherited hematologic malignancies and barriers to diagnosis & patient care. Your expertise is invaluable! #GCChat #PleaseRT #bloodcancer https://t.co/bL54H4Hh2Q

Hey Halifax! Lots of vaccine appointments- mRNA also open to 40+. Pass it on! @Tim_Bousquet might be a good person to spread the word if he hasn’t already!

As a food allergy mom, we’ve been dealing with avoidance of some very common foods daily since one kiddo was 6months old. It is a challenge daily and grows as they become more food-independent. Thanks @maryjmchenry for raising awareness #Top10Challenge

[Mary McHenry MD @maryjmchenry]

Tomorrow I start my 10 day challenge of avoiding the Top 10 allergens! It’s not too late to sign up! 🍳🥜🐟🍤🌾🥛@thecaaif #Top10Challenge (https://t.co/N6Dg68WUng) #foodallergyawareness
