📣 BREAKING NEWS: The @UN unanimously designates September 7 as World Duchenne Awareness Day. 🤝 This was co-sponsored by 128 Member States, the highest number of co-sponsorships in the 78th session as of today for a resolution tabled by one country. worldduchenne.org/news/united-na…

Have you ever wondered about what makes a rare disease? 🧐 Do you or a family member have a rare condition?🧬 Learn more about the Rare Disease Foundation by visiting our profile or rarediseasefoundation.org

Our study is also available in French and Chinese! / Nous souhaitons connaître l'expérience des soignants dans la recherche d'un diagnostic pour leur enfant atteint d'une maladie rare. Veuillez retweeter et partager! 我们想听听照顾者为罕见病患儿找到诊断结果的经历. 请转发和分享!

Hi Canadian caregivers! This is my study 🙋‍♀️ We want to hear about the experiences that caregivers have of navigating genetic rare disease diagnosis for their children across the country. Every experience matters - please retweet 🔁 and spread the word! #raredisease #caregiver

Congrats to @vivsgenes for being awarded the Mindel Rady Olenick Fellowship in Human Genetics Awarded to a full-time graduate student in BMG for high academic achievement and who has proposed to conduct or is conducting research in the area of Human Genetics!

Happy birthday to #RosalindFranklin! The English chemist and X-ray crystallographer paved the way for future genetics research after her contribution to the discovery of the DNA double helix. Check out #Photo51! #Genetics #GeneChat #PrecisionMedicine #WomeninSTEM

Here is an introductory lecture I gave for The School of Life about my work in human genetics 🧬 What can DNA tell us about where you came from and what kind of person you will become? It's in Dutch, but with English subtitles 🇳🇱🇬🇧

This fall I am teaching a class on 'Evolution and Reproduction'. I love teaching this class. What is your favorite mind-blowing reproduction thing that I should include? Separately - anyone working in this area interested in giving a guest lecture on YFT (your favorite topic)?

📣 Largest prospective study to date finds that two mRNA vaccines induce an immune response likely to protect pregnant women and their infants from COVID-19 infection. ‘Excellent vaccine efficacy is very encouraging’ for pregnant and breastfeeding women 👇 focusonreproduction.eu/article/News-i…

A healthy diet has been seen to be extremely important for fertility. A diet high in whole grains, monounsaturated or polyunsaturated oils, vegetables, fruits, and fish has been shown to improve fertility in women and increase semen quality. #BIOM4110 ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

Yes, ppl are getting the #CovidVaccine while pregnant! New data confirm robust maternal immune response + passage of antibodies to baby. More work to be done, but what we know so far is reassuring. @MySMFM @acog @ReprodMed @Brief_19 usatoday.com/story/news/hea…

Today is Amniotic Fluid Embolism Awareness Day. AFE is a low-frequency, highly fatal complication that impacts about 1 in 40,000 pregnancies. We are grateful to partner with @AFEFOUNDATION who advances research, promotes education & offers support to families & clinicians #endAFE

Kudos to all the #BIOM4110 students for making their passionate appeal to the Dragons. If this was a trailer of what the future has in store for us then I am totally excited and waiting in anticipation. #Congratulations

Hey #BIOM4110 - want to learn more about our prof @pavneeshmadan's research? His pioneering work in bovine #embryo selection will enhance reproduction + improve fertility rates in #cattle 🐄! I got to help w this @OntVetCollege piece, please check it out: ovc.uoguelph.ca/news/ovc-resea…

Researchers at the University of Guelph’s Ontario Veterinary College (OVC) are exploring a new method to assess bovine embryos in order to enhance reproduction in elite dairy cows and improve fertility rates in cattle. @pavneeshmadan @UofGResearch @uofg >> ovc.uoguelph.ca/news/ovc-resea…

Babies born prematurely are at increased risk for cardiovascular diseases as they age👶. Not many preventative measures exist for these diseases, but providing human milk as early as possible is shown to have protective effects🍼 #BIOM4110 #biom4180 nature.com/articles/s4139…
