GC Survey related to a capstone: value, impact and process of re-annotating hereditary cancer results. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

I and @GreyGenetics and @GreyGeneticsPod are almost off the SMs entirely.... if I know there are soo many GC student surveys.. if they were listed on Grey Genetics' website, would people look there/take them...? #GeneChat

Looking for good ideas to do a mini mini genetics lesson for a class of 2 1/2 year-olds..... #GeneChat

@choy_nicole @Charlene_Preys I love your voice ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@uche_blackstock I am on and off twitter, so i miss a lot, but I have loved following you for years. your posts and positions and perspectives always encourage and inspire me. thank you!!

1/ I've spent the last 18 months investigating how our government reached the point of taking children away from their parents as a way to discourage migration to the United States. Here's my story about how and why it happened, and who's responsible. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…

If anyone wants a quick link to a petition for a call to NSGC to start taking Requests for Proposals from new firms to lobby the US Government for CMS recognition so that we might be able to turn our attention to lobbying for our patients, it's right here: chng.it/rPSbkmc2WD

@CptSean24 I have to use an electric kettle because I can't be trusted to be safe with/not forget the stovetop kind. Many of us who use them may just be more accident-prone. Or want water heated much faster. And/or have no room for a microwave...

Is it true that Americans don't use electric kettles, but only ones you put on the stove to heat up? If this is true I'm mind blown lol.

I’m a mother of six, and a Mormon. I have a good understanding of arguments surrounding abortion, religious and otherwise. I've been listening to men grandstand about women's reproductive rights, and I'm convinced men actually have zero interest in stopping abortion. Here's why…

‘The terrain of mothering is not limited to the people who give birth to children’ @agarbes ‘Raising children is not a private hobby, not an individual duty… It is a social responsibility, one that requires robust community support.’ @jiatolentino newyorker.com/books/under-re…

@BettyJa77533964 @Theresa_Chapple Don’t have a reference and would be nice if someone had one to share - but risks associated with abortion generally considered (much) lower than those associated with giving birth.

@Theresa_Chapple Is there any data on the number of women who die because of abortion procedure?

On Tuesday my mid child will be 6.5 years old. I will be exactly 6 months away from paying off my 20% portion of her $1.2mil birth. We can't be deciding as a country to force carrying pregnancies when we wont provide insurance that covers the cost.

@katiesagaser I could see practices adopting this for patients when reimbursement rates are low - Medicaid. And encouraging patients with private insurance to come to even more appts *you never know*

Reduced visit schedules may be appropriate for those with low health literacy, food/housing insecurity, and more - in effect, consider when visits are more of a burden vs a blessing, and use shared decision making models to determine visit frequency and modality #ACOG2022

Tuning into “Redesigning prenatal care to meet the needs of our patients” at #ACOG2022! Did you know that traditional #PNC involves 12-14 in person visits and this practice was developed without evidence? #GeneChat

@katiesagaser Always took up at least half a day to go to a mostly pointless appt. (extra fun to travel with sciatica.) Should be able to check weight/bp at home or at a local pharmacy. Although then they couldn’t bill $$ for an appt.

@katiesagaser My OB apologized to me at one of my visits and said she really didn’t know what to offer me, that in whatever Scandinavian country, they only have have X number of appts.

Just watched and was also disappointed they couldn’t throw up a screen or two at the end… sudden cardiac death… often genetic, often preventable.

@Lomquiche @The_GrammarGeek French ppl at lycée looking at lined paper from US: how can you write on that….?

@The_GrammarGeek I was from Hertfordshire in the UK but spent time in France in a lycée. French cahiers are interesting because of the various layouts inside.

@chayasays i think everyone probably looks their worst on camera. and seeing a little icon of yourself on a zoom call is a bit like hearing a recording of your voice (hate hearing mine) - just..not..great.. and it takes a while to get used to a new haircut. but i think it's beautiful.

@elo81 I feel like it looked better in a mask than it did unmasked on my Zoom calls later that day, which...? But perhaps that's just because noone looks great on a Zoom call, amirite?

Yes, I got a short and sassy new haircut for my birthday (in a couple days). No, it did not transform my face to look like the really hot chick whose picture on Pinterest I used as inspo for said haircut.
