Melanoma personal risk
If you could combine all your risk factors - your genetics, lifestyle, and family history - into a single score that tells you your risk of melanoma, would you want to know?

Don’t just say DEI as if it’s a bad word. Spell it out.
Say diversity, which is the lifeblood of American society & culture & innovation.
Say equity, which a just society should pursue.
Say inclusion, because decent people believe in increasing belonging, not isolating people who are different.
