Why continue in-person training when virtual is so accessible? You can’t beat the connections made when interacting face-2-face. Future PRS collabs being formed here at #PRSAfrica2024 @eventsWCS @Makerere
I remember all the fun. Over 140 school kids took part that day. Fresh materials and activities on #DNA and #helminths were developed by the awesome team of @engageWCS, and we still use those activities nowadays at KKU museum events 🥳
The lesson on the identification of #driver#genes continues with the lecture by @patydesu, who tells us about oncogenes, tumour suppressors and the different types of mutations they harbour @eventsWCS #CanGenAnalysis23
There are only three 4th gen synchrotrons in the world: Max IV 🇸🇪, Sirius 🇧🇷, & ESRF 🇫🇷. Privilege to spend a week at one of these incredible facilities. Special thanks to @TrivellaDBB & @CNPEM for making this happen. #DD_Brazil23

I hate the fact that @DrAmirKhanGP has had to say this, but 👏👏👏 for how he responds. The other point I hate is that although I am also an immigrant to the UK, I never get asked this question - 🤔clear bias on who some people in the UK consider immigrants.
“I’m tired Lorraine of having to justify my existence by the worth I bring to this country”
@DrAmirKhanGP responds to the immigration and NHS claims made by Nigel Farage in last night’s episode of @imacelebrity#Lorraine#ImACeleb

Ahead of #LGBTQSTEMDAY, we asked our colleagues to share their recommendations of things to read, watch, and listen to, that they felt had LGBTQ+ representation.
Swipe through to see what they said👇🏻
@PrideinSTEM
ALT Image of Cybele smiling at camera. Text reads: “My recommendation is The Imitation Game” "This film brilliantly depicts Alan Turing's extraordinary contributions to history and science. It not only showcases his genius in breaking the Enigma code but also sensitively explores the challenges he faced as a gay man in a time of profound discrimination. Through its compelling narrative and historical significance, the movie serves as an inspiring tribute, commemorating LGBTQ+ in STEM.”
ALT Image of Lorenzo in green coat in the words. Text reads: “My recommendation is the film Red, White & Royal Blue” “This film reminded me of a video where two skeletons expressed love behind a clear screen. The video showed that, deep down, we're all the same, regardless of our relationships. The film made me imagine a world where we are true to ourselves—no labels, no gender expectations, and no social positions. What if we could experience love simply and genuinely?”
ALT Image of Rachael smiling at camera in hiking clothes. Text reads: “My recommendation is Bi: The Hidden Culture, History and Science of Bisexuality by Julia Shaw” On the right hand side: “Dr Julia Shaw is a scientist who speaks about being bisexual openly. This book helped me understand and put words to feelings that I’ve had since I realised I was bisexual. It is written beautifully and I recommend it to everyone”
ALT Image of Siew-Yit Yong smiling at camera with a cut out frame. Text reads: “My recommendation is the Safe Space podcast” “I have chosen this podcast because I think that it is a great way to learn more about queer history. Being a trans person, I especially appreciated learning about the world’s first transgender clinic in Berlin before World War II.”

⚖️UK Citizens Jury on Genome Editing
"Are there any circumstances under which a UK Government should consider changing the law to allow intentional genome editing of human embryos for serious genetic conditions?"
It was a pleasure to present on the success of our “Pathogen Genomics an introduction for clinicians” training day at the inaugural COP meeting @t3connect@sangerinstitute wouldn’t have been possible without a great team. @CarinaBrehony@daniel_hare1
There are over 300 genetic counsellors working in the UK. There is incredible breadth and variety in our workforce. Today we are highlighting people who are paving the way in these new areas. #GCawarenessday#IAmAGeneticCounsellor
