🧬 Genomic testing is key for paediatric inborn errors of immunity (IEI), but how do parents experience mainstream genomic testing in #IEI?
📢 Interviews highlight psychosocial impacts and a need for tailored support. @tatyanes.bsky.social

You know you’re sleep deprived when you go to get a glass and find a milk bottle in the cupboard that looks ready to pop…

husband and I have no recollection of how the milk got there. Theory is one of us got milk for our son from the fridge and put the bottle in the cupboard. #parenting

Awesome work by @zornitza.bsky.social and collaborators showing the immediate value of WGS for newborn screening in a cohort of 1,000 Australian babies. Now we need larger, more diverse cohorts to show this approach can achieve population scale!

Francesca Albanese speaks for humanity when she speaks for Palestinians 🇵🇸:

‘It’s not 75 years since the Nakba. It’s 75 years OF the Nakba.’

It’s ethnic cleansing.
It’s genocide.

Formal recognition of the state of Palestine overnight is a welcome step but we must also listen to the experts outlining what further steps Australia & other nations must take to prevent the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

PRS are well know to have variable performance across ancestries, frequently with a European bias. We looked closely at fairness of PRS for CVD risk prediction, both with PRS on it's own and in an integrated risk score...

Our results were surprising... 👉 www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1...

We often hear about the ‘leaky pipeline’ in STEMM – but what if women aren’t leaving, they’re pivoting? 💡

In our August Newsletter we caught up with Cassie Leonard, Founder of ELMM Coaching, to get a sneak peek into the new release Beyond the Pipeline 👀

Read more 👉 shorturl.at/oPV3l
A digital promotional graphic of the turquoise book “Beyond the Pipeline” on a green background with floral illustrations. A round pink-to-orange gradient sticker reads: “Women don’t quit. We pivot.” An open cardboard box filled with multiple copies of the turquoise book “Beyond the Pipeline.” The books are neatly stacked with some brown packing paper tucked inside the box. Two smiling women stand close together, wearing orange lanyards. One of them holds a turquoise book titled “Beyond the Pipeline.” They appear to be at an event or conference, with people and patterned curtains in the background.

On the Uber to the airport for #HGSA2025, I realised I’d left my sunglasses at home. Arranged for a friend to bring them, messaged my husband to leave them outside… His reply?

“Do you want your wallet too?!” 🤦🏻‍♀️😳

Another uncritical puff piece that lacks the bare minimum in checking the science. And to pit ethicists against parents/ kids...detestable.

"Move fast and break things has not worked very well for Silicon Valley in health care (...) the things you are breaking are babies." - @hankgreely.bsky.social
"Move fast and break things has not worked very well for Silicon Valley in health care," said Hank Greely, a Stanford University bioethicist. "When you talk about reproduction, the things you are breaking are babies. So I think that makes it even more dangerous and even more sinister."

🚨Excited to share our paper exploring parents' experiences with mainstreamed genomic testing for paediatric immunology.

We previously reported on our model that includes genetic counsellor embedded in the service. The model improved access to genetic test, but parental experience remained unknown.
