An issue across the board in medicine, allied health and translational research. Kudos to teams who raise all members of their team (looking at you @Kidgen @andrewmallett8.bsky.social). A thoughtful read for those mentoring women in health research @amcinerney.bsky.social @tatyanes.bsky.social

And the first publication for 2026! We don't have equity in medicine until we ALL have equity. And ongoing inequity diminishes patient care. 🌏✊️ 'This editorial adds value by emphasizing how gender inequities vary between high-income and low- and middle-income countries—an area seldom explored.'

Proud to share our BabyScreen+ #gNBS study is now out in @naturemedicine.bsky.social: 1000 babies screened, results in <2wks, 16 high chance findings, incl. 2 with major impact on care. Big thanks to @zornitza.bsky.social and the study team! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Feasibility, acceptability and clinical outcomes of the BabyScreen+ genomic newborn screening study - Nature Medicine

The BabyScreen+ study offered genomic screening to 1,000 newborns in Australia, and showed that the approach is feasible and positively received by families, leading to molecular diagnoses in 1.6% of babies.

In 2021 our team developed, evaluated and implemented a mainstream model for paediatric immunology. The model includes: - GC embedded in the dept - MDT meetings with doctors, GC, path and nurses. - WES trio as baseline genomic testing www.nature.com/articles/s41...

This is a game changer - facilitating appropriate reanalysis of already available genomic data.

Any #geneticcounsellors on BlueSky? I'm finding X not as nice and hoping to find my community here! #genetics #geneticcounsellor #geneticcounselor

So as well as following other genetic counsellors and genetics content here I will be posting genetic counselling themed drawings like my Mendels pea plants!

Hello friends! Finally made my way over to Bluesky! Hopefully the platform lives up to the name. Now to find everyone to follow again! thanks for the starter parks @jodieingles27.bsky.social super helpful! Beautiful blue skies in Sydney today ☀️😎🇦🇺

Hi @sarahred.bsky.social. @tatyanes.bsky.social has done a grand job putting together a starter pack which will have many of the GCs you are looking for.

Tatiane Yanes@tatyanes.bsky.social · 2y ago

I did a starter pack for Australian clinicians and researchers working on all things genomics. Its so exciting to see so many familiar faces already joined the app! I'll keep adding as more join. Let me know below if you would like to be included. go.bsky.app/Mtpc5wT

The great genomics migration from Twitter to Bluesky has been like watching an ecosystem rebuild itself, and @ericfauman.bsky.social posting causal gene threads here feels like a keystone species has arrived. The world is healing.

Eric Fauman (he/him)@ericfauman.bsky.social · 2y ago

*taps mic* Is this thing on? Should we try a "Who's that causal gene?" 🧪

On Friday the Australian Government made an important announcement about the new #GenomicsAustralia, a national body that will provide leadership, coordination and expertise so all Australians can reap the benefits of cutting-edge genomic research and technologies. www.health.gov.au/ministers/th...

Happy genetic counselor awareness day to all who observe this holiday 🧬 Genetic counselors are critical to delivery of genomic medicine. In Australia we have many genomic testing item numbers that fund testing, and yet we don’t reimburse genetic counsellors to deliver this… #genechat #medsky #gcad

🧬 Happy Genetic Counselling Awareness Day! Genetic counsellors help individuals and families understand how genetics affect health & provide guidance and support navigating genetic services. Proud to be part of this field & to know so many amazing counsellors making a real difference every day!

Wishing all of my colleagues a very happy Genetic Counsellor Awareness Day! We had a really wonderful ASGC webinar this morning featuring speakers from different areas exploring their roles and pathways. The breadth of our field seems to be endless - love being part of such a cool community! 💜

Thread for those new to BlueSky. First of all, welcome. It feels like a safer space, doesn’t it? But also perhaps a bit disorienting initially? Here’s some tips for getting your bearings.
