The danger of detention and deportation is real not only for immigrant patients, but also for students and clinicians. We can look to history for the examples of heroism that we admire and consider what we will do should the time come. #GeneChat

On polygenic screening & embryo selection: “conveying genetic information in # scores gives...the illusion of more control than they really have, & validates the feeling that 'one’s own genome must be special.'" www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Inside the Silicon Valley push to breed super-babies
Investors say genetic prediction services for embryos, used by Elon Musk and others, are a trust fund for future children. Many scientists are skeptical.

@genandgenes.bsky.social makes a powerful case for anti-racist genetics education in secondary school and university, and at the risk of climbing onto a well-worn pedestal, I'd argue this moment, more than any other, calls for a rethinking of how we approach doctoral education in genetics
Scientists must push back against the threat of rising white nationalism and the dangerous and pseudoscientific ideas of eugenics
