Last night we honored & celebrated Lauren's life. Lauren was an amazing friend & human who meant so much to so many of us. Please consider donating to the memorial award that was created in her honor to support prospective/current GC students.bit.ly/3lwER4a #GeneChat

The NSGC community honors the life of Lauren Ryan who passed away last December. To honor her memory, we’ve partnered with the Lauren Ryan Genetic Counseling Access Memorial Advisory Board to create an award to promote leadership, diversity & increasing access to the field. (1/3)

Hey, hey #GeneChat - I’ll be live tweeting @HeatherZierhut’s State of the Society Address from the @GeneticCouns handle today at 2pm CT. It’s been a busy year for NSGC – follow along for all the updates! #NSGC22


Congratulations to Michelle Fox, recipient of the @GeneticCouns Natalie Weissberger Paul Award. Michelle was the 2nd genetic counselor I ever met when I was a young grad student at UCLA - meeting her confirmed my desire to become a genetic counselor myself. #NSGC22 #GeneChat

I'm aware that there are SEVERAL barriers for underrepresented folks to be a Genetic Counselor😫. If you know/are a future GC, enrollment for The GC Immersive REMOTE SHADOWING FREE program has been extended to next week! color.com/genetic-counse… @Color #genechat #GCAwarenessDay

Excited for this update; particularly important that the TTR gene was added which is an important contributor to risk of heart failure in Black communities. Thank you to @TheACMG Secondary Findings Workgroup for the diligence and hard work! #GeneChat

📣 BREAKING NEWS! 📣 @TheACMG updated v3.1 list of secondary findings in clinical exome & genome sequencing now includes #TTR. TTR is linked to hereditary #transthyretin amyloidosis, which predominantly impacts African ancestry populations 🌍🧬 👇 gimjournal.org/article/S1098-…



Registration for the 2022 @GeneticCouns Annual Conference (hybrid) is now open! Echoing @HeatherZierhut’s invitation to dust off those cowboy boots and hard hats - time to boot scootin’ boogie and BUILD together in Nashville! nsgc.org/conference #GeneChat


Thank you @GeneticsSociety for your support of the #AccessToGCs bill, & for this great interview with @CCampbell49 As Colleen notes, enacting H.R.2144/S.R.1450 can help reduce disparities in access to genetic counselors & quality genetics care. bit.ly/3NBPhIq #GeneChat

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
