Our #PRS clinical implementation meeting was a huge success! Great discussions on clinical implementation and next steps. Big thanks to everyone who joined & the lovely hosting at @petermaccc.bsky.social ! #genechat @tatyanes.bsky.social @amcinerney.bsky.social

Amazing time at our 3rd away day with our fantastic team (minus a few!). We celebrated our wins over the past year, reflected on our leadership styles, and fine-tuned our pitching skills to take us through 2025. Exciting to see how far we've come and looking forward to what’s ahead! 🚀 #genechat

Excited to share a blog I wrote for MSCAN about my recent research! 📝 Understanding personal melanoma risk could transform prevention & early detection—but how do we communicate it effectively?@igmgroup.bsky.social Read more here: 🔗 mscan.org.au/melanoma-per... #genechat

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?

Cancer Australia has launched a National Framework for Genomics in Cancer Control🎉We're proud to have contributed to this framework, focused on improving access to equitable, culturally safe & evidence-based genomic testing in cancer care #genomics #cancer www.canceraustralia.gov.au/key-initiati...

As promised, more photos of my perfect little baby girl Rosie. 🐶 🥰 #doggos

I’ve had the privilege of running this community initiative, and it’s been incredible! 🏃‍♂️💙 An early morning run club open to all, where we move together and finish with recovery—saunas & ice baths. 🌅❄️🔥 I hope to always balance my life with work, play, and connection ☺️ #RiseRunRevive

🚨1 Month on BlueSky!🚨 Allow us to re-introduce ourselves. 🚀 Meet Integrating Genomics into Medicine! We're a team of genetic counsellors, clinicians & researchers making genomic testing more accessible in Australia! Follow us for updates on genomics in healthcare! 🧬💡 DM to connect! #Genechat #ELSI

Just attended a fantastic talk by @tatyanes.bsky.social 🎤 on bridging the gap to implementing polygenic risk scores 🧬 and genomic testing 🏥 in clinical practice—so many great insights from her research and clinical experience🔬✨ #Genomics #PolygenicRisk #genechat

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.

Part 2 on presentation skills I love to see! #genechat #Sciencecommunication #presentationskills

As someone passionate about clear & engaging science communication, I thought I'd highlight a few presentation skills that I LOVE to see. It's all about telling a good story... #genechat #communication #presentationskills *This is a recycle post, I did a few years back on everyone's eX-platform.

Weekly highlights include "Utility of genomic testing in children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer". This informs Aus's 1st national framework for genomics in cancer control being developed by Cancer Australia 📜 #Genechat @amcinerney.bsky.social ➡️https://doi.org/10.1093/jnci/djae233

Next: "Future implications of PRS for life insurance underwriting" 📄PRS may impact genetic discrimination (GD) for life insurance, deterring uptake & research. As PRS use grows, the issue of GD must be addressed. ➡️https://www.nature.com/articles/s41525-024-00407-x @tatyanes.bsky.social

1st up 🧬"Community concerns about genetic discrimination (GD) in life insurance persist in Australia" 📄Despite a partial moratorium, fears of GD deter genetic testing. Legislation for genetic results use in life insurance is needed. Read more: www.nature.com/articles/s41... @amcinerney.bsky.social

A much needed recharge at the beach with my #1 girl 🐶

Finally finished my painting of a view from the Blue Mountains! It’s a photo I took last year, and the first time I’ve played with modelling clay in a painting 🎨

It’s been an absolute privilege to have @tatyanes.bsky.social and @amcinerney.bsky.social as my supervisors & to navigate the PhD journey alongside Ellie! I couldn’t have asked for better mentors or a better partner-in-crime for this experience. #PhDone

Congratulations to @emilydebortoli.bsky.social ‬on publishing a scoping on the "Utility of Genomic Testing in Children, Adolescents, & Young Adults with Cancer. Great summary 👇#genechat #skymed #academicsky

What a way to end the year at the Frazer Institute Awards! Honoured to receive the Outstanding Student Award and thrilled to see @amcinerney.bsky.social recognised with the Leadership Award. 🎉 #FrazerInstitute #StudentAwards #Leadership

Wow, what can I say? I’m honoured to have been awarded the “twinkle toes” #dermieawards for my fast paced walking in heels 👠 🏴‍☠️ Amongst other winners like the honourable “pirate award” for “Rrrrr” programming. 🐶 I’d like to thank my dog Rosie for her fast paced walks that led me to this award 🥇

🌟 NEW PAPER 🌟 www.nature.com/articles/s41... Integrated risk scores can drive targeted melanoma screening. We piloted a communication model with a booklet & GC appt: 📖 Booklet were useful. 🤝 GCs added sense of accountability 💡 No distress @tatyanes.bsky.social @amcinerney.bsky.social #PRS #genechat

May need to choose a different route today 😆. Typical Brisbane. Any excuse to cut my long run short…

I the spirit of work life balance, I’d like to share some happy “life” moments. I had a lovely (much needed) weekend away with my partner at our friends wedding. This meant Rosie also got a sleep over with her BFF. Photos I will cherish 🥰
