Dear @Crayola I’m sure we weren’t the first family to realize that the mess free coloring book you sell, featuring Tiana and Jasmine, doesn’t include a marker for their skin or hair color. Do better. @WaltDisneyCo
Honored to have the work that the @SvatiShah lab is doing to identify biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases in the @uk_biobank on the @dnanexus analysis platform highlighted this month!
Our latest @uk_biobank Researcher Spotlight highlights @MEbreitbach, a bioinformatician from Duke University performing research to identify biomarkers of cardiovascular diseases. hubs.ly/Q02Jpkjc0

So proud of my awesome @DukeMedSchool computational biology & bioinformatics graduate student @k_kottilil for receiving an NIH F31 grant!
Keep an 👁️ out for her, she is doing great work on methods for integrative omics w/ a focus on heart failure and is an all around super ⭐️!
Listening to the Duke PGC keynote speaker and amazing female scientist, Sarah Tishkoff, talk about her work in increasing knowledge and understanding of the genetic architecture of African populations @DukeGenomics #genetics

The academic parent gut punch when filling out emergency contact info
Your little line doesn't leave me enough room to write: "actually, no we don't have an additional emergency contact bc I 'went where the job was' thank you very much I will go cry & dwell on my mortality now"
Check out my poster presenting my work on predicting pathogenicity of CVD variants @DukeGenomics #ASHG22

Q from @MEbreitbach. MM discusses the difference between autonomous and non-autonomous enhancers. #ASHG22
Listening to a stellar female grad student from @DukeGenomics give an exciting platform talk on targeted activation of the Prader-Willi Syndrome locus via CRISPR/Cas9. #ASHG2022

Let’s change the narrative from #ElizaFletcher shouldn’t have been out at 4:30 am to this man shouldn’t have been out looking for a woman to snatch at 4:30 am. Stop blaming the victim.
Megan (Breitbach) Ramaker retweeted
Anyone saying #ElizaFletcher shouldn’t have been running at 4:30 just doesn’t understand a few things. A teacher is normally at school by 7:00am and doesn’t get home until after 5. Then dinner, kid activities, grading papers until 10pm or later. There’s no other time to run

I’m a woman. I’m a runner. I run alone. I run in the morning. I run in the day. I am #elizafletcher #ashlingmurphy #sydneysutherland #mollietibbetts #karinavetrano #allybrueger #vanessmarcotte
They were all women who went for a run and never came home. #wedeservebetter
