@ewanbirney I couldn’t agree more, this is relentless. Something close to my heart and I take a lot of wisdom from your arguments (with appropriate credit & reference, of course) when I talk about this. Thank you once again.

@DNAziz_ Thanks. It is a ... neverending task sadly, and sometimes I feel I am just howling in the wind, so this does buoy me up. Please do make these arguments locally.

(Another) great thread from @ewanbirney Thank you for your continued efforts to remind and educate everyone… Recommended read for everyone, experts and novice alike.👇🏼

It is a dark, drizzly december sunday in London and I've just read yet another depressing thread of someone reaching for genetics to justify racism and superiority to themselves. It is deeply wrong, but such a recurrent thread worth both dismantling+ understanding the attraction

This trend shows the increased interest & momentum around rare diseases & there is still significant work needed for rare disease drug development. Those with rare diseases are faced with exorbitant drug costs to treat their conditions and are often unable to meet these costs.

More than half of novel drug approvals are for orphan drugs. This has shifted tremendously in the last few years; showing the increased interest and momentum around rare diseases. An important trend to unpack and leverage. Thanks @UofPenn Anne Parisier. @GenomeCanada

Here we go! It’s been a sec since I’ve been here. But today’s a good day to reboot to say I’m thrilled to be taking on a new role at @uOttawa w/ @GuyLevesqueUOtt on all things innovation, partnerships & entrepreneurship. (Sadly, I bid adieu to @E4Dca… more on that later!)

Saddened to hear the passing of @LouBernatchez I had the privilege of working with Louis on several projects including the sequencing of the American Eel and the Lake Trout. The world of #genomics has lost an absolute gem. #RiP @LavalUniversity

@notSoJunkDNA I am already there, with a bunch of other friends and colleagues. I don’t have any invites left but can ask others if you need one. “Sky is the limit”.

Trying out one of these AI translation apps (@HeyGen_Official). I read the intro to Watson & Crick 1953 in English. Translations including lip movement. I speak neither French nor German. How does this sound to a native speaker?
