Always such a great part of #ASHG24

Quintessential #ASHG24 picture of the Plon lab reunion at the Baylor party. There's always a homecoming feeling to it.

Many will endure hardships. For me (and committed colleagues), it means the struggle to defend science + counter antiscience forces becomes more complicated/daunting. This time we’ll need better support from the societies, college presidents, elected leaders who care. Tough times

November is #FamilyHistoryMonth! It can be important to share your results with your family members so they can understand their risks. Not sure where to start? @FacingOurRisk has created a brochure with a step-by-step guide along with important resources: bit.ly/3zuUhgh

Registration is free and travel awards are available! If you are interested in a physician scientist career (MDPhD students, undergrads), please consider registering! @A_P_S_A #doubledoc

To my colleagues and friends in Harris County - vote this weekend any location. No line, free parking at TMC. There are 73 items (due to judges). November 5 will be a mess!! Until 7pm today or Sunday noon -7

Available today in @GIMJournal, a special article from @ClinGenResource “The Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen): Advancing genomic knowledge through global curation” sciencedirect.com/science/articl… (1/n)

Big day for @ClinGenResource First up new paper from APC VCEP on importance of using their specifications to resolve uncertain variants: The American Journal of Human Genetics cell.com/ajhg/fulltext/…

@cfroning @sue_ann_krause @asherichia It did happen for Maxam-Gilbert sequencing but in that case they gave it to three different labs. Here they had a slot for Lee.

@sue_ann_krause @asherichia That did not happen in the prize for dark energy, but in that case the students were men.

Urrrrrr...All major papers of Victor Ambros are shared with his wife Rosalind Lee.... Does the nobel committee just hate women called "Rosalind"???

Can I ask @OpenTable why someone who lives in Houston and hasn’t been in San Francisco for several years and it isn’t on my profile - still get emails almost every day about restaurants in San Francisco? Waste of “marketing” and my time?

@Vicki_Mercado1 @GinaBortoletto Amazing to see you take those steps!

Application for #Pathology residency officially submitted!! Excited, grateful, and reflecting on the journey to #Match2025. Congrats to everyone participating! Can’t wait to meet future colleagues over the next few months! #path2path #PathTwitter #pathmatch2025

@envelopinglayer @kaia_mattioli Definitely- my PhD lab had a tube of R1 from Paul Modrich!

@kaia_mattioli Boomer biology is going from purifying your own restriction enzymes and trading with your friends to nanopore whole plasmid sequencing for less than the price of lunch

it must be truly wild to be a boomer in biology like going from using genetic linkage to map genes to being able to do single cell full transcriptome sequencing across millions of cells in the span of a career is crazyyyyyy

Australia to completely ban the use of genetic information in life and disability insurance. A huge win for the genetic disease community, for research participants and researchers, and for @JaneMTiller and others who tirelessly campaigned for this change! abc.net.au/news/2024-09-1…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year…. Symposium! The weather is not as hot as the science. 🔥🔥🔥

A recurrent theme in all of the large biobanks & #PrecisionMedicine studies presented at @GlobalGenMed conference is the obvious impact & return of value of genomic Dx and research in #RareDiseases, yet we have such hard time getting funding for implementation projects in LMICs..

We had a special breakfast for our incoming MS1 students and their families to explain the MDPhD path and why it’s so important.

GenomeConnect has submitted over 4,800 variants to ClinVar. What to learn more about how to search ClinVar? Register for our webinar on October 16th at 3:30pm ET to learn how to track variants in ClinVar: forms.gle/pR92b1uPxkKWqH….  #datasharing #Genetics

@BCM_MSTP @Vicki_Mercado1 Congrats. So great to see your success

Congratulations @Vicki_Mercado1!!
