🧬🙌🌈 — With PercePRS, we aim to make genetics (🧬) more understandable for the public, so that everyone (🙌) can benefit and lead healthier and better lives (🌈).

Last but not least, this is the first @PercePRS publication since we kicked off the project in 14 November 2022 - been a while isn’t it? We appreciate all the contributions from everyone who involved in the stages of survey, interviews and future workshops. We made this together!

Sincere thanks go to Yuhao’s supervisors, @AlbertTenesa and @almostjohnvines. Yuhao’s travel to the DIS ’24 is supported by the Junior Scientist Conference Grant from the Genetics Society @GenSocUK and the Birrell-Gray Travelling Scholarship from @roslininstitute.

We’re excited to attend ACM Conference on Designing Interactive Systems (DIS) 2024 in Copenhagen today until 5th July! The companion paper authored by @yuhaothesun, which discussed the @PercePRS project… #acmdis2024

We invite you to participate in a 2-hour workshop in Edinburgh, sponsored by @GenSocUK. We will explore into the future ‘world’ of polygenic risk score (PRS). Participants will receive a £20 gift card. More info and complete the interest form via edin.ac/4b3tJzA

How do you feel about predicting health risks based on your genes? We’d love to hear from you in this 1-to-1 online 60-minute interview. You’ll receive a £10 gift voucher. Open to all 18+ UK residents. For more info and enrol, email yuhao.sun@ed.ac.uk

Congratulations @yuhaothesun! We're looking forward to see the results of your study.

Congratulations and thanks @GenSocUK from the PercePRS research team! 🎉🥳

I’m excited to announce that, the final phase of my study, PercePRS, which involves a series of co-design workshops, has been awarded funding by the Genetics Society’s Public Engagement Grant @GenSocUK. Stay tuned for more details coming soon! Follow us @PercePRS for updates. 🎉

We’ve collected 254 responses eventually for the online survey. Thanks for everyone who have involved.

We got some preliminary results - stay tuned!

We received 150 responses for our #PercePRS online survey! Thank you! Share your views on genetic testing and polygenic risk score with us via edinburgh.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/perceprs. We will close the survey in March.
