It is still bananas to me that ~1/2 of states don't cover the current standard of care for prenatal aneuploidy screening despite MOUNTAINS of data. In 2022! Half of pregnancies are covered by medicaid. This continues to be an equity issue. Lobby your state medicaid board. #NIPT

Dear #genechat - see the attached article from Boston University School of Public Health outlining its decision to disengage from Twitter. It’s a really interesting and thoughtful read. Things are not going well here… bu.edu/sph/news/artic…

7 years Boston Medical Center BU Genetic Counseling Program as of this week… I’m sorry what?! Time flies when you’re constantly screaming about broken systems and working in one and watching the world burn! Still wouldn’t trade it for anything. These colleagues, #genechat students, and patients are šŸ”„ā¤ļøšŸ™ŒšŸ» for me.

Tonight I played my first ever competitive tennis match at 32 years old. We lost 6-1, 6-4. I have never been more proud of myself. Self care can take many forms, and my newfound recommendation is – the bolder, the better.

We’re excited to announce that Rep. Adrian Smith and @RepBrianHiggins have introduced the #AccesstoGCs Act in the House as #HR3876. Thank you to everyone who was instrumental in getting the bill introduced! #GeneChat (1/2)

I voted in between two NSGC volunteer calls that are both making massive efforts at pushing the field of genetic counseling forward, with equity at the core of both those efforts. #genechat around this time last year i said that change would look good on you AND IT DOES!!

Getting fed up with quoting dissents, but I’m here for Justice Jackson and ā€œlet them eat cake obliviousnessā€ today. Another sad day in June from SCOTUS, but the good work will go forward. I’ll look for another good quote tomorrow when they overturn student loan debt forgiveness.

My ā€œfor youā€ feed is now full mostly of conservative-leaning news orgs and anti-Biden propaganda and I know that’s not the circle that my genetic counseling-health equity account following looks like soooo what’s the deal?

This #genechat community is HURTING and I get it. There’s no email in the world I could write (and I’ve tried) that can trace the path that led to this conference failure. If you’re here, plz come ask me anything - I’ll be the tired dad chugging coffee->wine at the booth.
