An issue across the board in medicine, allied health and translational research. Kudos to teams who raise all members of their team (looking at you @Kidgen @andrewmallett8.bsky.social). A thoughtful read for those mentoring women in health research @amcinerney.bsky.social @tatyanes.bsky.social

Proud to share our BabyScreen+ #gNBS study is now out in @naturemedicine.bsky.social: 1000 babies screened, results in <2wks, 16 high chance findings, incl. 2 with major impact on care. Big thanks to @zornitza.bsky.social and the study team! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Feasibility, acceptability and clinical outcomes of the BabyScreen+ genomic newborn screening study - Nature Medicine
The BabyScreen+ study offered genomic screening to 1,000 newborns in Australia, and showed that the approach is feasible and positively received by families, leading to molecular diagnoses in 1.6% of babies.

Will The Updated NSGC Pedigree Nomenclature Guidelines Sink The Effort To Obtain Medicare Coverage For Genetic Counselors?
Back on January 20th, American democracy and decency began to swalllow a poison pill of its own electoral making. The fallout has been all kinds of horrible, nationally and internationally, except in Moscow where Putin is having a belly laugh because America is doing his dirty work by destroying itself. The US Constitution is being shredded. People who are transgender, gay, non-White, and all the other non-majority varieties of American demographics feel that their very lives are threatened.

Just a quick note to those new here, if you think someone's post is worth other people reading, repost it. Liking it does not have the same effect here as on the dead-bird site. There is no algorithm. That's one of the reasons we like it.

Not sure what our how it happened, but it looks like this site is suddenly awash with Australian genetic counsellors! Yay! Or it may be that I just missed the crowd before? Either way, it is great to connect with everyone again 🙂 Now I just need to learn how to use this site...
