Thank you Newcastle University 🙌🏾

🎉 💃🏽Excited to share that my latest 1st author paper, “AGTR1 🧬 variant rs2638355 is associated with increased salt 🧂sensitivity of blood pressure: a female-specific effect in individuals from the HyperPath cohort,” is out in J Hypertension. doi.org/10.1097/hjh.00…


"Incorporating multiracial and multiethnic experiences into genetic counseling practice and research: A necessary opportunity": New paper with Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics (SCBE) current T32 fellow Chenery Lowe & genetic counselor Justin Gomez-Stafford: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jg…













Many Black scientists fall through the cracks during their postdoc; I almost did myself. Last month, 70+ National Black Postdoctoral Association (NBPA) members met for the 1st time to strengthen our community.🙏🏾RT to help us reach new members/sponsors so we can continue to grow no matter the political climate


Celebrating GOLDEN Genetics' work to increase Black representation in #GeneticCounseling! Through mentorship, outreach, and community, GOLDEN supports 180+ mentees on their path to becoming GCs. Proud to support this mission for a more inclusive field! perspectives.nsgc.org/Article/a-gold…


For folks still here, the first big project from my group is pre-printed. Super talented postdoc Maria Akopyan explored how reference bias can skew estimates of diversity, demography, divergence and recombination rate with help from Ellie Armstrong 🦁🐯🐻 and @GMenchev. Thread 👇🏽
