Some great questions on here...how can genetics respond to the diversity of concerns. None of them are trivial or unimportant.
Lots of good questions and thought provoking statements on our banner! @BritishSciFest
What do you think @BritSocGenMed @GenomicsEngland
@geneticsengage?

Was beyond super to be part of the discussions for this first ever blackbrownbioethics.blogs.br…. Inspired by the work the co-founders are doing, conversations show that if we convene to break barriers, those communities we belong to, will ultimately benefit. #bioethics for all
linkedin.com/posts/michelle-… This is so true, genomics remains highly unequal and unjust in who it harms or benefits
Sasha will be at the Black Cultural Archives on the 25th Jan. Join her and Managing Director Lisa Anderson in conversation from 6pm. @ThinkSpeakMavis @MaleboMalope @Shenriques3 @theAGNC @ConnectingSci

Genetics means so many different things to people, even a 'simple' test or result can be interpreted by a patient in multiple ways. People make sense of results from various contexts.
