This panel on intersectionality is absolutely incredible. No amount of tweeting (X’ing?) can effectively communicate the heartbeat of the panel. Thank you to those who agreed to be a part of this. #GeneChat #NSGC23

I will be travelling to Canada to attain knowledge and experience in psychiatric genetics to improve patient care and quality of service at @TheRMH I could not have done this without the significant support of @TheRMH J L Frew Travelling Fellowship. We are making a difference!

Did you know? You can refer patients with a personal and/or family history of psychiatric illness to @TheRMH for genetic counselling. Genetic counsellors help people understand the cause of their illness. 🧠 💫 🧬 #mentalhealth #geneticcounseling

Today is #WearItPurple and 2021’s theme is focused on the conversations we have in our daily life around sexual orientation and gender identity. It aims to remind us that the issues we reflect on today should be considered every day.
