Congrats to Blake Vuocolo on her successful thesis defense this week! I was proud to watch Blake dedicate herself to representing the voices of our diverse KidsCanSeq childhood cancer families of TX in her research. She will be one to watch in GC research on equity in genomics!

Very excited to see see this research moving forward! This will be an important contribution to the pediatric cancer genetics community.

@elizakcourtney @kamiws @EmilyFassi @elise_fiala …this includes oncologists, pathologist, GCs, fellows, GC students etc. We discuss cases with interesting tumor molecular findings and highlight germline/predisposition topics when relevant. It has been a great experience that really enforces collaboration and knowledge for all!

Calling all my paed onc/haem genetic counsellor colleagues: what are the top 3 elements of your role that make it function well in an embedded clinic setting? #GCChat Pinging @kamiws @EmilyFassi @elise_fiala @SarahScollon (pls ping others - all thoughts/contributions welcome!)

@elizakcourtney @kamiws @EmilyFassi @elise_fiala We are lucky to work with a geneticist who is an expert in this space so also may not be “embedded” in the way you are asking. I would emphasize the importance of ongoing collaboration with other disciplines. We have a monthly genomics tumor board that has fostered this…

Feeling reflective on my 10th year @bcmhouston and the growing GC family that now includes our GC students, our graduates, and a growing list of GCs and specialties. Thank you to the planning committee for the celebration and shout-out to @lauren_desro for her crafting skills!
