✨NSGC✨ We’re recapping and reflecting on the 43rd National Society of Genetic Counselors (#NSGC) Annual Conference that took place in vibrant New Orleans. It’s our 6th year in a row covering the conference, and this one did not disappoint! 🌟 Our host Kira Dineen had the chance to reconnect with past guests, meet new listeners, and record mini-interviews with genetic counseling students from University of Pittsburgh, Baylor College of Medicine, and Sarah Lawrence College Graduate Program in Human Genetics. We shared our favorite moments, what we have learned and who we got to meet! 🎙️ Jovanni Cuevas, MS, CGC and I do a deep-dive on a standout session “Just Because We Can, Should We?” moderated by Courtney Studwell 🧬 Listen all this on Episode 308 by searching “DNA Today” in your podcast app or stream here: https://lnkd.in/e42ZPvQ6 🎧 👉 P.S. Next year’s #NSGC25 is happening in Seattle—who’s joining us for more genetics discussions and some Seattle coffee? ☕️💬 And a thanks to Baylor Genetics for interviewing me about the current state and future of genetic counseling. #GeneticCounseling #GeneticsPodcast #GeneticCounselor #SciencePodcast #GeneChat #NSGC24
