We're proud to offer a fellowship for Black students seeking careers in genetics! Applications are open to undergraduate and graduate students currently enrolled (or enrolled by 8.1.23) in the United States and are due 7.3.23. More information here: blackingenetics.com/big-fellowship
Interested in what it takes to pursue your ideal human genetics/genomics career? Join us for our upcoming webinar to hear from leaders in the field about steps you can take to make your professional dreams come true: learning.ashg.org/products/inspi…
Very excited to join the #BeyondAmyloid Research Symposium of Michigan ADRC @umichalzheimers and honored being the 2023 cohort of MADRC REC Program. Stop by our poster presented by Sophie @Sop_512 ‘Explore the Functional Impact of Transposable Elements on Alzheimer’s Disease’.
So glad to finally post this very cool collaboration with @ryan_e_mills. Non-random patterns of mosaic CNVs in neurotypical human neurons. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Sharing your work at #ASHG23 will allow you to benefit from a collaborative environment & move your research forward at the world's largest human genetics meeting 📝 Submit an abstract today! ashg.org/meetings/2023m…

We know that #SomaticMosaicism can affect #FetalDevelopment, #aging, & can even lead to #cancer. But we don’t know its full impact on human #biology & #disease. See how our #SMaHTNetwork will help researchers make discoveries on this topic youtu.be/8KX3lkMB5nU
While #SomaticMosaicism isn't an everyday term, it has the potential to have an impact on everyday health outcomes. Read how our #SMaHTNetwork will catalyze research on how it influences #HumanBiology and #disease. commonfund.nih.gov/smaht

Women in the minority at conferences report facing hostile questioning as speakers, being mansplained, enduring sexist jokes & unwanted touching. One study found 59% of women, but only 23% of men were interrupted/prevented from talking at a conference. nature.com/articles/d4158…
