Fabulous Q&A with Dr. @maitreya.bsky.social @uwgenome.bsky.social "Reflecting on MSS 2026 and Looking Ahead to the Future of Genome Science" @brotmanbaty.bsky.social @varianteffect.bsky.social #VariantEffect26 ➡️ brotmanbaty.org/news/q-and-a...

The image consists of two sections. The top section has text with a header that reads "GENOMICS" followed by the title "Q&A with Dr. Maitreya Dunham: Reflecting on MSS 2026 and Looking Ahead to the Future of Genome Science." Below this is a quote: "Any time is the best time to be in this field." Image is of a person (Maitreya Dunham) with glasses standing at a podium with a microphone.

#RareDiseaseDay (coming up on Friday, February 28, 2025) is a day dedicated to raise awareness of rare diseases and the people they affect. Tune in to this amazing podcast series that delves into the science behind mapping variants in diseases and rare diseases. www.varianteffect.org/podcast

The image showcases three separate podcast advertisement banners placed vertically. Each banner contains artwork on the left and text on the right. The top banner features a digital illustration of a double helix with scientific imagery and human figures on a teal background. The text reads "Variant Effect What?" for a podcast released on May 16. The middle banner, on a red background, depicts a circular illustration with intricate biological designs and a central glowing orb. The text states "Melanoma And Variant Effects: beyond sunscreen," dated June 6. The bottom banner, set on a teal background, presents another double helix with molecular designs. The text says "Your genes on drugs: context matters!" released on September 20.
