🔔 big changes by @inheritedcaus
This is a progressive and inclusive move by the Pink Hope board and will no doubt result in greater advocacy and support for individuals and their families with inherited cancer.
Loved catching up with friends and colleagues at this year’s @HGSAAustralasia ASM.
Here is half of the class of 2004 who graduated from the Uni of Newcastle Grad Dip Genetic Counselling.
20 years as genetic counsellors!!

@purton_louise is speaking at our Lea Awards today where we reward and acknowledge our female researchers. She has given us an incredibly deep insight into her own journey as a woman, a woman with disability, and a female researcher in our society. Please follow her on X.

It’s fair to say that 🪴 plant 🌱 science is not my forte.
My closest appreciation of plant sciences are liquids distilled from juniper berries and fermented 🍇

Incredibly grateful to be awarded a clinical services grant from @UniMelb MGC program to improve local practice in psychiatric genetic counselling along with the very wonderful @JoshSchultz16 for his work in implicit bias. Watch this space in 2024 as we create more opportunities.
Great visual of breast cancer risk factors that combine for a comprehensive risk assessment.
This risk assessment is the first step needed for risk-stratified cancer screening.
Presented by @DrKaraBritt on behalf of Prof Paul James @PeterMacRes

I will be travelling to Canada to attain knowledge and experience in psychiatric genetics to improve patient care and quality of service at @TheRMH

Science’s true gender gap: this study demonstrates who publishes, gets credit, moves around, receives funding, collaborates and receives citations - demonstrating deeply ingrained bias against women.
