I often feel extremely helpless in the face of such overt white supremacist violence but the fact that he cited GWAS on educational attainment really cements for me that academia desperately needs physicians and scientists who understand how data we generate perpetuates racism Retweeted by Anna Miller
@kassykneen Congratulations!! 🎉
For #TransDayOfVisibility I wrote how companies specifically can step up for trans rights Retweets and signing vague statements is not enough. Trans people need allies to combat the current anti-trans hysteria #TDOV #TransRightsAreHumanRights linkedin.com/pulse/companie… Retweeted by Anna Miller
#ASHGtrainee Mark your calendars for this work-life balance seminar! twitter.com/GeneticsSociet…
The next Society webinar is March 23 at 11 am EST!

This members-only webinar, the first in a series, will explore high-level approaches to finding work-life balance with ASHG member experts and a full-time career coach: https://t.co/PzHvviZukI
@jsriccardi_slp @angelacicciaPhD Congratulations!!! 🥳🎉
I had the great opportunity to welcome @cwru new students as the graduate student council president at fall convocation! If you look at the navy blue flag you can juuuust see my pink mask in the back!
Such a pleasure! Check out the recent ASHG Nascent Transcript to hear more about Dr. McCreight's career path! 🧬✏️ twitter.com/jeymccreight/s…
