We’re deeply concerned about the leaked #SCOTUS draft opinion that would overturn Roe and Casey and stand by our position statement on reproductive freedom, supporting the right of all individuals to make reproductive choices, including having access to safe abortion. #GeneChat

We oppose Texas #SB8 as it prevents healthcare providers, including genetic counselors, from delivering quality patient care without fear of retribution. We support the right of individuals to make reproductive choices, including access to safe abortion. #GCchat

Why has the United States handled this pandemic so badly? The Editors note that although we came into this crisis with enormous advantages, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent.

Not to get political, but I'd say two of the things I miss most from the Obama years are being able to breathe air outside and being able to breathe air inside


Highly recommend watching #thesocialdilemma on Netflix, truly makes you think about the impact social media and fake news will have on society

Decades of genetic studies have focused mainly on white patient populations. Now, new research grants have been awarded to projects examining the role of race and ethnicity in major types of cancer. nyti.ms/3bQ9qsp

The worst air quality in the WORLD right now is in Puget Sound with unhealthy to near-hazardous air in place from wildfires down south. Unfortunately, it's going to be a problem all weekend. More @KIRO7Seattle at 5. #wawx kiro.tv/LiveNews

In the first report on the attitudes of parents of people with trisomies towards hypothetical gene editing, parents share their mixed feelings. This is a reminder of the importance of including the views of disability communities in these discussions. bit.ly/2OQnFUr
