Senior postbac Lily Barna from my lab giving her lightning talk on our genetic literacy survey at the NHGRI symposium! We have modernized and validated a measure that truly captures the construct of genetic literacy and it’s ready for collaboration. 🤙🏻 call us!

Looking forward to the NHGRI symposium for the next two days! Here’s my colleague Liz Dietz reminding us about the policy implications of massive DNA collection from migrants at the US border. 🧬

Please join me in congratulating my NHGRI colleague Vence Bonham for winning the #ASHG24 advocacy award &in wishing him a speedy recovery from a bad cold which meant I accepted it on his behalf this afternoon. His work increasing diversity in both the genetics workforce and research is unparalleled.

Congrats to my awesome senior postbac Lily Barna on her poster today! #ASHG24 stop by 7069 until 415 to learn more about our genetic literacy measure. We would love to collaborate with anyone wanting to measure genetic literacy in their cohort with a validated, modernized set of scales. 🤙🏻

I’ll be at the NHGRI booth from 3-4pm today so #ASHG24 y’all stop by and get some stickers, and let’s plot how to improve scicomm and genetic literacy
