Amazing time at our 3rd away day with our fantastic team (minus a few!). We celebrated our wins over the past year, reflected on our leadership styles, and fine-tuned our pitching skills to take us through 2025. Exciting to see how far we've come and looking forward to what’s ahead! 🚀 #genechat

Excited to share a blog I wrote for MSCAN about my recent research! 📝 Understanding personal melanoma risk could transform prevention & early detection—but how do we communicate it effectively?@igmgroup.bsky.social Read more here: 🔗 mscan.org.au/melanoma-per... #genechat

Melanoma personal risk
If you could combine all your risk factors - your genetics, lifestyle, and family history - into a single score that tells you your risk of melanoma, would you want to know?

I’ve had the privilege of running this community initiative, and it’s been incredible! 🏃‍♂️💙 An early morning run club open to all, where we move together and finish with recovery—saunas & ice baths. 🌅❄️🔥 I hope to always balance my life with work, play, and connection ☺️ #RiseRunRevive

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out. Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation. Say equity, which a just society should pursue. Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.

As someone passionate about clear & engaging science communication, I thought I'd highlight a few presentation skills that I LOVE to see. It's all about telling a good story... #genechat #communication #presentationskills *This is a recycle post, I did a few years back on everyone's eX-platform.

Next: "Future implications of PRS for life insurance underwriting" 📄PRS may impact genetic discrimination (GD) for life insurance, deterring uptake & research. As PRS use grows, the issue of GD must be addressed. ➡️https://www.nature.com/articles/s41525-024-00407-x @tatyanes.bsky.social
