NHGRI’s Clinical Director @BenjaminSolomo2 first fell in love with genetics and genomics in the 7th grade. In medical school, he admired geneticists who were determined to help diagnose patients.

@genome_gov @RenMontooth (Breaking my Twitter hiatus for this - didn't take long!) @spencercodes, with all the big, exciting things going on in AI these days, which models and approached do you think are going to have the biggest impact in genetics and genomics in the future? #MLinGenomics

Super cool article by @genome_gov colleagues on the genetics of dog behavior (one fascinating thing they saw: "a sheepdog-associated enrichment for interrelated axon guidance functions") cell.com/cell/fulltext/…

@MuinJKhoury @GIMJournal Very nice and informative article. I heartily agree with the sentiment that medical geneticists should be involved in diagnostics as well as management, and should especially focus on the latter in the present and future.

A good joke my son told me (he may have come up with this himself in bio class): What did chlorophyll call their imaginary friend? A pigment of their imagination. Here's a DALL-E 2 picture we made of "an oil painting of a fancy chloroplast in a suit"
