.@TheACMG recommends all pregnant patients and those planning a pregnancy should be offered screening for a panel of 100+ genes (autosomal recessive genes with a carrier frequency of ≥1/200 & & certain X-linked genes) go.nature.com/36NagVd #GCchat #ExpandedCarrierScreening They specifically highlight that they DO NOT recommend offering Tier 1 (CF & SMA only) and/or Tier 2 (genes w/ ≥1/100 carrier frequency) screening, because these do not provide equitable evaluation of all racial/ethnic groups. #expandedcarrierscreening #GCchat

I am incredibly honored and humbled to receive this award & thank you so much to @carrie_haverty for the nomination. Having you as a mentor, colleague & ally has meant so much.
But if I can say something else, I am also incredibly frustrated at our NSGC community #NSGC20 #GCchat To see people make excuses & provide reasons as to why they may not have participated in the membership DEI survey is ridiculous. Yes, we are in the middle of a pandemic. We ALL are. & everyone has been impacted in some way or another. That is not an excuse. #NSGC20 #GCchat

What are things you wish other GCs knew? Or misconceptions that you want to correct?
@shreshthaGC #NSGC20
1. Ambition is not a bad thing. Ambition should be valued as a positive.
2. We tend value loyalty over innovation or over growth and we need to change that. @twitherington #NSGC20 I am not my company. You may disagree with some policies but at the end of the day we are all trying to do good work.

Ready for our state of the society address with @gillianhoo!!! #NSGC20 Gillian highlights the challenges of this year with COVID, social and racial injustice and general uncertainty. And we've had to face all of this head on knowing that inaction reflects the biggest mistake we could make. #NSGC20

Let's go! @quidditch424 #NSGC20 Image What's at stake here? Black women are less likely to participate in genetic risk assessment & counseling. Less likely than white women to know about risk reducing therapies. #NSGC20
