I'm really excited about this lineup

They are also an absolute high maintenance terror to make. Literally have pavlova instead - all of the egg whites getting along with fruit due to the whipped cream chaperone.

You at John Deere exhibits at State Fair with flat cap on is the late summer visual of the day! Make it so! 😆

Try chocolate chess or cranberry chess from Hoosier Mama too

Can recommend buttermilk pie as a similar but much less teeth hurty option!

ICE just shot another one of my neighbors. They had the person on the ground, being beaten by several agents, and then fired multiple shots. In front of the donut shop where we like to get donuts for our kids.

Not able to be there this year and my friend texted "Epigenome editing to treat PWS using nanoparticles. You’re missing out." I miss my people.

Sarma in Somerville! Toscanini's in Cambridge! Little DNA bird told me the noodles at Gene's are 🧨. Flour? Myers and Chang? Am a fan of the breakfast sandwiches at Tatte.

All of the #ashg25 FOMO. First time in a decade that I've not attended. 😥

I think a lot of people don't know this Zoom feature exists: under "React" there's a "Be Right Back" button that mutes your audio, turns off your camera, and puts a label on your square. And then when you come back you just click the "Back" button. Repost to save us all from "BRB" chat messages!

15 rather than 18. Though Rosie Jones + Jack Dee is a great team act.

Probably season 5, but 11 and 18 are close. We're in the middle of rewatching 12. Wozniak or Mae Martin, probs? So hard to choose.

Fave season/contestants? It's such a great show. We have much to discuss.

I've heard Manzoukas, unsurprisingly, is pure chaos in the best way.

🚨Apparently GeneReviews is now being told to "prove their value" by the end of the week to the US government. They need letters of support sent to the Univ. of Washington editors: editor2@uw.edu.🚨 @geneticssociety.bsky.social -- are you aware and mobilizing your membership? #genechat

Finally found a chocolate chip cookie that I like: double thick miso walnut with dark chocolate and sea salt on top. Going into the rotation. 2025-3

Is there a Swifty themed session???

Bao Brewhouse, the Yakisoba noodles (with mushrooms). And whatever the aioli is that comes with the shishitos and Brussels.

Are you going to #ASHG24? ✅ Have you made plans to vote? ✅ Looking forward to seeing my 🧬 peeps in just a couple of weeks. Drop me a 👋🏻 if you're attending! (Still not sure of the attendee overlap on this here platform.)

@amadeus2k1.bsky.social and I proposed this model when we were wee baby GC graduate students who barely knew anything ~15 years ago. Amazing to hear about your study! Really looking forward to the data. ☺️

Haha ok - now it's making sense.

The racist Chinese restaurant jokes from 30+ years ago are still racist when they're about Haitian refugees

Great point, but also thanks for a final hammering home of my age to round off the summer.... (A lot of milestones for cute babies/toddlers of friends recently - driver's license, starting college/able to vote, 21st birthday.)

Lemon-poppyseed snowflake cupcakes to hit triple digits. Glad the neighbors are home. (Already making plans for royal icing DNA toppers. 😁)

Three more bakes and I'll hit 100 for the year. Bouncing back from last year's low of 80, but nowhere near the massive 150 set in 2020. Should I go for it? (Will need to find inspiration and willing eaters.)

I am interested in your laundry folding technique and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. Clearly, I have room for improvement.

Now listening to @AdamRutherford speak on eugenics at #ASHG23 - sobering, engaging, and thought-provoking stuff. My hot takes: American exceptionalism and monogenic determinism is really effing things up.

Cathy Long @yhtacgnol.bsky.social · 02/11/2023

Just wrote down the words"CRISPR-dCas9 epigenetic editing to treat Huntington's" and realized that 2010 me would not be able to understand what that means. Wow. #ashg2023

Top takeaways from Adv Dx for Rare Diseases: AI has good yield in id'ing potential dx and now being turned towards var calling; mild pheno abound, in CdLs and also in the GA4K results; genetics/genomics deserts are a thing and just b/c pts live near a genetics center, does not mean access. #ashg2023

Plenary I kicked off with a bang with a CRISPR-Cas9 non-viral delivery in Angelman and now loving Christina Falugi's presentation on implicit bias in traditional medical photographs as compared to "natural" photographs. #ASHG2023

But, most importantly, it was a tremendous reminder of the human impact of the hard work being done by everyone in the metabolic, genetics, and newborn screening community. We reach, we push, we connect, and we strive because it makes a difference for patients and their families.
