Last week, some talented @genome_gov researchers published a commentary in @HGGAdvances describing an inclusive future of genomics that embraces integrated anti-racism approaches. I recommend reading their described ethos for a better future of science: bit.ly/3ChPPgH Retweeted by Brittany M Hollister, PhD

Studies have shown that enhancing the diversity of the research workforce fosters innovation and creativity, which happens when people recognize that diverse perspectives and life experiences provide different contexts and approaches for tackling challenging problems. 1/ twitter.com/NHGRI_Director… Retweeted by Brittany M Hollister, PhD

Today is #WorldFragileXDay. There have been many recent developments in genetic testing for developmental conditions such as #FragileX. I'm still recruiting for my study and interested in hearing from parents about these new tests. twitter.com/erin_turbitt/s… Retweeted by Brittany M Hollister, PhD

Parents of children with genetic developmental conditions: we’re interested to know what you think about new genetic tests that are in development. Follow the link to register your interest and find out more. #RareDisease #FragileX redcap.research.uts.edu.au/surveys/?s=EC4… Retweeted by Brittany M Hollister, PhD
