Just before the end of the year, we initiate the Twitter account for our brand-new lab at the @IIBmCSICUAM. Starting the Pharmacogenomics and Tumor Biomarkers Group @PGx_IIBM is a very exciting moment, and a challenge at the same time.

As a non-genomics expert, I was really moved by this!
Parallels to digital health where we are often swept away by tech hype, rather than evidence.
Just because we can, doesn't mean we should...

If you're involved or interested in clinical genetics - immediately stop what you're doing and read this.
A brilliantly thoughtful piece in @TheLancet considering costs/benefits/implications of population screening and genomics.

The level of net migration is too high.
Today we’re announcing a new plan to reduce immigration and curb the abuse of our visa system.
Here is what we're doing 🧵👇
ALT Immigration action. Banning overseas students from bringing their families to the UK, unless they are on postgraduate research degrees. Stopping immigration undercutting British workers Scrapping the 20% going rate salary discounts offered for shortage occupations
