Academic writing. Free & awesome. I am delighted to share that Dr Helen Sword will run a 3-part series for Canadian academic writers. Rego details will follow but I couldn't wait to get this news to you. Pls retweet/tag your colleagues who write. #GameChanger

Family communication of genetic information. Who? Why? How? Check out our new Wiley eLS article with illustrative cases. #GeneChat protect-au.mimecast.com/s/oKa3CD1jmrS5…

Do you think access to a GC is important? The MRAC is taking feedback from the public, including SWAN families. Info on making a submission (due Oct 7) can be found here: bit.ly/3QpODPb Human Genetics Society of Australasia @mcewen_alison #geneticcounsellors #accesstocare #SWANAus

People often ask me why there are no Medicare rebates to see a genetic counsellor. We've been working hard to change that! This public consultation is a way to have your say, and is open to anyone (individual or organisation)! #healthcare #genetics #geneticcounselling

INSPIRED!!! Many direction that GC's can spread their wings in. #ZERO2 study opening doors for more GC involvement, inputs and enhancing patient care experiences. Did you know PISCF consent process could be communicated in form of a video to better engage patients😯

Sometimes we forget how much technical language there is in #genomics. Thankfully @MelbGenomics have put this really useful Genomics glossary together. Check it out: ow.ly/GGEB50KOVYh

It's nearly all we talk about, but what exactly is genomics? Tackle this 10-minute #BitesizeGenomics resource to learn the basics behind DNA, genes and your genome! orlo.uk/vGGxJ

The wait times for a genetic counselling appointment has been a major stress reason for patients. I see many people asking why isn't genetic counselling funded, why isn't it accessible? Here's your chance to have a say. Open to public👇

Callling all Oncologists and Biopharmaceutical Industry Professionals to join us on 7 October at 6pm JST (GMT+9hrs) for a webinar discussion on...

And... that's a wrap to an insightful, fun filled, inspired and eventful week at UTS_GeneticCounselling. How amazing was it to hear from expert speakers in the field and to have our amazing faculty facilitate some great learning experiences for us " the future genetic counselors." #gcchat

We’ve just been awarded AU$10M from the Medical Research Future Fund to support the development of OurDNA, a new program to increase the inclusion of under-represented communities in genomic research. Here's why I'm excited about this work. 🧵 garvan.org.au/news-events/ne…

October marks Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Check out this study (nature.com/articles/s4301…) which demonstrated that the Guardant360® liquid biopsy test effectively identified patients with PIK3CA mutations along with other mutations that correlate with treatment resistance.
