We are a think tank focused on the policy challenges of implementing genomics and related technologies to improve population health
We were there! @chantalresearch.bsky.social speaking on genomics, heat and health (slide 2 bottom left 😀)
Yesterday over 40 researchers were brought together by @cambridgezero.bsky.social and @cam-repro.bsky.social to talk sustainability and reproduction, with flash talks, discussion and networking.
