Misconceptions about human genetic differences fuel genetic essentialism—but educational intervention can change that. Join @robbeewedow.bsky.social during the upcoming April 8 Journal Club Webinar as he shares how & breaks down his @hggadvances.bsky.social paper: bit.ly/4rF8FrE #ASHG

How and for whom can genetics education reduce beliefs in genetic essentialism?
Despite advancements in genomics, misconceptions about the extent to which genetics contributes to observable differences across racial groups persist…

Stellar work from @robbeewedow.bsky.social, Brian Donovan, & company continuing the work on how changing genetics can reduce genetic essentialism in students. This is the kind of work under attack by the current administration. Several grants on humane genetics literacy were targeted this year

I just finished a semester of teaching 250 upper-level undergraduate students how to push back against genetic essentialism using real genetic science on human variation to take down these dangerous and incorrect misuses/misinterpretations... I've never been prouder or more inspired as a teacher ❤️
